Unfortunately I cannot see how you have cared about what I wrote you. You just 
repeat your statement. How shall that help?

You have to ensure that both your command prompt call and the call by the 
application use the same file.

1) The application could run as a different user.

2) The application could run chrooted.

3) The application could be restricted in its access rights by some LSM 
(Apparmor, SELinux or similar).

Thus do this:

a) Compare the output of
gpg --list-options show-keyring --list-secret-keys
from both the command prompt and the application

b) Is the secret key protected by a passphrase?
