Well, I think I solved this one.
After I exchanged keys, apparently the secure ring for one of the
accounts dissapeared, [????]
I have no idea how. I did a --list-secret-keys and it said there were
none.
I recreated the keys, exchanged them again, and now it is working.
Thanks for all the suggestion..
