chmod 700
drwx------
Files inside .gnupg should be chmod 600
-rw-------

Also check the ownership of the directory, it should be owned by the same user 
that will be running gpg at the command line. 
man chown 

These don't usually need to be changed - it's how GnuPG sets itself up. You've 
been fiddling, haven't you!
