Am I missing something or does this key server only
work on a manual copy&paste or upload/download base?
The keyserver interface is read-only, you cannot upload keys to it. You
can only do that via the web page, and it will only accept your upload
after you have verified your e-mail address. IMO that's a feature, and I
wish the "regular" keyservers did not accept any key from any person.
(And yes, I know this is a harder problem than it sounds, just sayin') :)
The following commands both worked as expected for me:
gpg --keyserver ldap://keyserver.pgp.com --recv-keys 1a1abc84
gpg: requesting key 1A1ABC84 from ldap server keyserver.pgp.com
gpg: key 1A1ABC84: "Douglas Barton <do...@dougbarton.us>" 2 new signatures
gpg: key 1A1ABC84: "Douglas Barton <do...@dougbarton.us>" 2 signatures
cleaned
gpg --keyserver ldap://keyserver.pgp.com --search-keys do...@dougbarton.us
gpg: searching for "do...@dougbarton.us" from ldap server keyserver.pgp.com
(1) Douglas Barton <do...@dougbarton.us>
2048 bit RSA key 1A1ABC84, created: 2010-03-23
Keys 1-1 of 1 for "do...@dougbarton.us". Enter number(s), N)ext, or

gpg: requesting key 1A1ABC84 from ldap server keyserver.pgp.com

FYI, their server is LDAP-only, so if your install does not include that
capability it might explain why your attempt failed.
hth,
