Moving gnupg to another PC: more strangeness

See the other thread (from yesterday). 

What I'm trying to do is move my GPG setup to a new machine. Simply
copying the directory doesn't seem to work (and yes, I set the rights
properly).


I wondered what would be a good way to test this, so I NFS mounted my
old-machine GPG set up to my new machine.


  old-machine$ gpg --list-keys

/home/nferrier/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
---------------------------------
pub  xxxx/XXXXXXXX 2002-02-16 Nic Ferrier ....
sub  wwww/WWWWWWWW 2002-02-16


  new-machine$ gpg --list-keys

/home/nferrier/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
---------------------------------
pub  yyyy/YYYYYYYY 2002-02-16 Nic Ferrier ....
sub  zzzz/ZZZZZZZZ 2002-02-16


This seems pretty strange to me, I'm using exactly the same data, but
with two different GPG executables on two different machines and they
report different numbers.


I am very confused. Someone please help.
