gpgme_op_delete doesn't seem to do anything

[Jacob Perkins]

Here's the code I'm using to delete a key:

if (gpgme_op_delete_start (ctx, skey->key, TRUE) == GPGME_No_Error)
{
	g_print ("deleting key at %d\n", index);
	GpgmeError err;
	gpgme_wait (ctx, &err, TRUE);
	if (err == GPGME_No_Error)
	{
		g_print ("successfully deleted key\n");
		list_keys ();
	}
	else g_print ("delete unsuccesful\n");
}
else g_print ("error deleting key at %d\n", index);

skey is a struct that contains a GpgmeKey.  list_keys refreshes a gtk
tree list showing the current key ring.

Everything works fine, prints out the 'success' line, yet the key is
still there, even after quiting the program and restarting, still there
in seahorse too.  Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
