No, the set pgp_verify_sig=yes solved Andreas S.' problem. Your problem
seems to be that you specified keyrings in your ~/.gnupg/options
but don't have write access to them.
I suggest adding a "keyring ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg" (or whatever your
personal public keyring is called) as the last keyring option in the
config file.
gpg will then import new keys into that keyring which should work. You
still cannot update keys in other keyrings though.
