Your gpg.conf seems okay, but when I download your key from the
keyserver, it's telling me that you revoked the key on the day you
created it. The error "secret key not available" is a bit misleading; I
think perhaps "available" here indicates "usable". You cannot sign with
an expired key. However, this explanation doesn't quite account for this
output you got:

Because it should say "revoked" for the UID validity.

So... why are you trying to sign with a key that appears to be revoked?
And did you revoke it on a different computer and not import the
revocation to this computer that still says "ultimate" for validity?

BTW, which version of GnuPG are you using, and on which platform?

HTH,
