I believe once GnuPG has a secret key, it won't update it anymore with any subsequent imports. So to get the additional subkey, re-export the whole thing, delete the existing one on the other system and import your re-exported whole thing. I'm also wondering why you're being so explicit about it in the first place, with transferring little chunks at a time using the exclamation mark instead of the whole thing. Is there something specific you're trying to achieve? > gpg: secret keys unchanged: 1 This message to me implies it is actually possible to change something about a secret key. I haven't figured out what yet. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
