Hi

I was able to reproduce your problem, so I tried to import the key with pgp 
6.5.8 (available from http://www.pgpi.org/ ) which worked perfectly. I then 
exported the key from there to get a file which gpg imported without 
complaint. wierd. Anyway here is what I get when I have gpg export it yet 
again.
