  I think you need to explicitly tell gpg which key you want to use. I
don't know how to do that, since I let GPGshell (a GUI for gpg, for
windows environment) to handle that... but if gpgshell can do it, you
can do it too.

  Maybe you need something like:
 gpg -u <your key> -r <their key> -se <file>  but since I never use gpg
without a GUI, I am NOT confident the syntax is right...

  Best Regards
