As I can see in armor header you are using _very old_ GnuPG version.
1.2.1 has a serious vulnerability, please update GnuPG immediately. For
details read this announcement:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2003q4/000160.html

Also from 1.2.1 to 1.4.2 (latest stable version) there were many
features added including support for various key servers.

Both key servers works fine for me.

At first, update GnuPG (see above why), then try again and if it won't
be successful let us know.
