No-go :-(

nigel at nigels:~$ sudo chown nigel:nigel /home/nigel/.gnupg/gpg.conf
Password:
nigel at nigels:~$ sudo chmod 600 /home/nigel/.gnupg/gpg.conf
nigel at nigels:~$ sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF; gpg 
--armor --export EEF818CF | sudo apt-key add -
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/nigel/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file permissions
gpg: keyserver communications error: general error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: general error
OK
nigel at nigels:~$

Any other ideas?

Blessings,

Nigel
