Why do you have 5 secret keys?  Not saying that you shouldn't, but its a
little hard to understand your setup with multiple secret keys.  Are
they all part of different key-pairs?  Are they sub-keys?

When you encrypt to a public key, you do not need the secret key, or the
password.

Yes, when decrypting you need the password, but the key is automatically
picked somehow based on information in the encrypted package.
