the key-servers have been troublesome lately - 
probably you just need to try again a few times

to make it faster, you can update only the three
remaining keys by putting the key-id after
 --refresh-keys, like the example below

for future reference, there is a simple way to get text
out of a LiveISO -  (install 'gnu-netcat' if necessary)

either put the text in 'a-file' then run this command:

$ cat a-file | nc termbin.com 9999

or post the entire output of a command:

$ some-command 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999

for example:

$ sudo pacman-key --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --refresh-keys 7258734B41C31549 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999

that will print a simple URL, which you can type into emails or chat
