Can you report more info about sample2.txt, or share it here?  I would
want to know what its internal structure looks like, if possible, and to
know whether the key(s?) that its inner part is encrypted to are keys
that you have listed when you run gpg --list-secret-keys .

Also, what version is your local gpg where you're running
gpg-wks-client?  Is it possible that you're mixing gpg 2.1.x and gpg
1.4.x on your local system?
