Two problems: 1) There is no --import-secret-keys option. See the manpage for valid commands. 2) How would specifying a key id for a key that hasn't been imported yet work? You can use a key id for keys already on your keyrings or when searching public keyservers, but for importing, you need to pass a path or the key data via standard input. You just want to use "gpg --import /path/to/secret-key" as you would for importing a public key. You might also want to set the trust level on the imported secret key (via gpg --edit-key $keyid trust). -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
