Once before I had a problem where after signing a key it didn't get
trusted.  I've done it a dozen times in the past three days with test keys
as I experiment with gpg and only once did I have this problem.  A comment
made by someone earlier that gpg re-computes the trust every time made me
think to try simply deleting the trustdb.gpg file (well, renaming it
actually) and that seemed to work.  I don't know if this is a bad
thing(tm) as I was only working with a keyring containing those two keys.
