bboett at kalman:~/$ gpg --export-secret-key >gpg.sec
bboett at kalman:~/$ scp gpg.s* laptop:

and on the laptop:

laptop:~/zebot$ gpg --import ~/gpg.s*  
gpg: key E0807C30: already in secret keyring
gpg: key E0807C30: already in secret keyring
gpg: Total number processed: 4
gpg:       secret keys read: 4
gpg:  secret keys unchanged: 4
laptop:~/$ gpg --sign testfile
gpg: secret key parts are not available
gpg: no default secret key: general error
gpg: signing failed: general error
