The error message isn't hard to understand, is it? "gpg --list-secret-keys" shows you the available secret keys of your gpg configuration. You need the key with the ID 424E35F0 which is obviously missing. Under Linux: gpg --list-secret-keys | grep -i eccb5814 sec# 1024D/0xECCB5814 2005-09-05 This is an examply with my key. "gpg --list-secret-keys | grep -i 424E35F0" probably does not deliver any content. You need import the secret key 424E35F0. Hauke -- PGP: D44C 6A5B 71B0 427C CED3 025C BD7D 6D27 ECCB 5814
