I take what I said back. 

The "No Recipient" error occurs when "gpgme_op_encrypt" is called. Later
when I call gpgme_data_read (I did not exit the program when an error
occurs), I get "General Error". The program I am using for testing is
attached. This program works fine. (The inconsistency I mentioned before
is more likely due to I tried to manually set GNUPGHOME and
user_key_name in code and confused myself than gpgme library is not
consistent.)

What I have been doing is writing a customized module for proftpd, which
encrypt all the ftp put files upon uploading. The ftp user will be
jailed to its home directory after login. (That's why I am so obsessed
with chroot) 

When I tried to incorporate the encryption script to my proftpd module,
I get the error of "No Recipient" when the code reaches
"gpgme_op_encrypt". I do believe it is because I do not know where I am
after chroot. As a result, the GNUPGHOME directory is not exactly what I
set it to be. I am going to try to list all the keys I have to see
exactly which keyring I am using ...

Thanks for your help and have a happy holiday!
