Thanks for your response. I do not think it is any of those issues. I have used this system (and this script I wrote) successfully in the past (on Linux / Mac). I just transferred machines a few months ago (Mac OSX to Mac OSX) and somehow the key did not transfer properly. Then I started getting these errors.
So, I deleted my old backups and the key, created a new key following a HOWTO on the net (which is just like zillions of other HOWTOs you will find using Google), and it still refuses to work (with the error I have described). I do not use the Toy OS. I seriously doubt that a Yahoo group is going to help me if the official gnupg user mailing list does not.
