Well, 0xAF351431 can only be used for signing and certification. The key
you encrypt to is your subkey 0xE3889A13, which expired yesterday:

pub  1024D/AF351431  created: 2002-02-04 expires: 2012-02-04 trust: -/-
sub  4096g/E3889A13  created: 2002-02-03 expires: 2004-02-03

This might be the reason you cannot encrypt to it :)

But maybe gpg should throw an error showing *why* the key is unusable.

Regards,

Ralph
