uhm as said a part from the export of the keys i didn't do anything on
the workstation....

darn... got it solved....

heh really stupid looking afterwards....
had to import the secret key before the public key.... other way round
it doesn't work....

all the tampering of the secret keys was useless... had to remove all
traces of the key, then install the secret key, and then the public, in
that order it works....

hmmm other question since i am at it...

the old secret key of my laptop, i revoked it, can i safely delete it,
    or do i have to keep it around? the revokation certificate was send
    to the key servers some time ago...
