It appears that you don't already have a copy of the public key for 
david.donnelly at daviddonnelly.com on that machine. Is this expected?

I can't find keys for any of your listed emails on the SKS pool, or on 
Hagrid (which appears to be down?), or via WKD. If you don't have the 
key locally either, then gpg won't be able to encrypt.
