Hello,

I'm using gnupg 1.4.1 on MS Windows XP.

When I execute the command "gpg --list-keys", I get the following output:

C:\>gpg --list-keys
D:/Data/TMarx/GnuPG-Data\pubring.gpg

every key is listed twice. The difference is the usage of the slash and
the back slash.

This behavior correspond to an error. When I try to import a key from
key servers, I get the following output:


gpg: requesting key xxx from hkp server sks.keyserver.penguin.de
gpg: renaming `D:/Data/TMarx/GnuPG-Data\pubring.gpg' to
`D:/Data/TMarx/GnuPG-Data\pubring.bak' failed: Permission denied
gpg: Fehler beim Schreiben des Schlüsselbundes
`D:/Data/TMarx/GnuPG-Data\pubring.gpg': Fehler beim Umbenennen einer Datei
gpg: key xxx: public key "[User-ID nicht gefunden]" imported
gpg: Fehler beim Lesen von `[stream]': Fehler beim Umbenennen einer Datei
gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0
gpg:                              importiert: 1


No key is imported. Other users noticed this error too.
Can anybody give any hints to correct this?

Greetings,

Thomas
