Hi, Devin. For the home directory, you need to use the one for Aquamacs:

gpg --homedir "~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Packages/elpa/gnupg" --recv-keys

You can also yell at the maintainer for not shipping an update earlier! I’m hoping to have a beta release of Aquamacs 3.6 available sometime in April.
