You were having problems because of a public key in your secret
keyring.  When you generated your new key, did you keep your old
public key in the secret keyring?  GnuPG is having problems getting
past it.

If that is the case, it's fixable.  To confirm that is the case, what
happens when you do --list-secret-keyring ?
