I had already added the gnupg-directory to my path-variables and I've
tested it. The path-variable works correct.

I think, gpg can find the program correct, because
"gpg: DBG: system() command is C:\gnupg\gpgkeys_curl.exe"
is in the output. I've installed gpg in this dir, to test, if the
vista-roaming-function make problems (The auto-roaming of vista does
only work in system-dirs like program_files or windows, but not in other
dirs on a partition.

To analyse the problem, I've tried to change the props of the exe-files
in vista:

Run as admin, win2000 compatibility, winxpSP2 compatibility... All of
these probs don't have any positive effect.

Thanks for your idea!

Bye,
Sebastian
