^^^^^^^^

the key _pair_ needs to be exported,

the public key
and then the secret key

gpg --export-secret-key keyname

it wasn't exported from gnupg,
and couldn't be imported to pgp


>   $ gpg --export MyKeyID > mypublickey.pgp

good,
now do the same for the secret key

gpg --export-secret-key MyKeyID mysecretkey.pgp


good luck
