Yes I have the following line:
source ~/.gpg.rc
in my .muttrc file.

No, I don't even see that option in my options file.  The only keyserver
option I have is 'keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net'.  I have attached my
.muttrc and .gnupg/options file here.

Thanks for the suggestions.  is there a auto-key-retrieve option for
gnupg?  Any more suggenstions and help are welcome.

# If you have more than 1 secret key in your keyring, you may want
# to uncomment the following option and set your preffered keyid

#default-key 621CC013

# GnuPG ultimately trusts all keys in the secret keyring.  If you do
# not have all your secret keys online available you should use this
# option to tell GnuPG about ultimately trusted keys.
# You have to give the long keyID here which can be obtained by using
# the --list-key command along with the option --with-colons; you will
# get a line similiar to this one:

# If you do not pass a recipient to gpg, it will ask for one.
# Using this option you can encrypt to a default key.  key validation

# The next option is enabled because this one is needed for interoperation
# with PGP 5 users.  To enable full OpenPGP compliance you have to remove
