As far as I can see, aspell differentiates between
  --master=<name>, -d <name>
     Base name of the dictionary to use.  If this option is specified 
     then Aspell will either use this dictionary or die.
and
  --lang=<string>, -l <string>
     Language to use.  It follows the same format of the LANG  envi-
     ronmental  variable on most systems. It consists of the two let-
     ter ISO 639 language code and an optional two letter  ISO  3166
     country  code  after  a dash or underscore. The default value is
     based on the value of the LC_MESSAGES locale.

While --master supports directory names like de_DE-1901, --lang only
supports de_DE, but strips off the 1901.

While you correctly use --master (AKA -d) on the command line, you
accidently use --lang in the config file.

Please try, whether changing your config file to 
 master de_DE-1901
solves the issue to you.

Tschoeeee
