Hi Antoine,
please try it as a normal user, not as root.
Normaly the key-ring-file depends to a real user 
and not to root, who isn't a normal user.
May be it will help you.

I am not familiar with BSD but this should apply to BSD installations of GnuPG
as well.

Try
gpg -e -r NAME test.txt

where NAME is the user id of the recipient's key.

If you want to encrypt for uid NAME and explicitly hide a given recipient's
keyID when sending the message you may use the -R option.

Well, that's what the man page tells us, IIUC.
