My guess is that you didn't actually import the secret keys.  That would
affect your ability to decrypt, but of course the secret key isn't
required to encrypt.

If you run 'gpg --list-secret-keys' on the new machine, does it show the
keys you need?

If that is the problem, you could either run something like "gpg
--export-secret-keys > secret.keys" on the original machine and import
the generated file on the new machine, or copy over secring.gpg.

If you have the secret key, maybe double-check the trust level for the
secret key.  That should be set to ultimate.
