Hi,

Have you tried gpg --export-secret-keys 0xDEADBEEF?
(0xDEADBEEF should be replaced by your key id.)

This should be what you want according to the manual page of 
gpg (even 1.2.1).
But before you export your secret key, hesitate a minute and
consider if this is really what you want ;-)

Regards,
  Stephan
