(Import-)Problem in gnupg 1.4.1

The difference does not seem to be only in the usage of slash and back 
slash:
> D:/Data/TMarx/GnuPG-Data\pubring.gpg
> d:\data\tmarx\gnupg-data\pubring.gpg

There is a difference in the use of upper and lower case.
And please note that pubring.gpg is, in both cases, preceded by a back 
slash.

I am not a Windows user, but IMO you have your pubring.gpg located in, 
maybe, two different directories (D: and d: with different 
permissions), which could account for the double listing, and for the 
error in failing to rename pubring to pubring.bak

I hope you get better information from a Windows user.
