Migrate from gnupg/Linux to gnupg/win32

Due to reasons that I do not wish to go into, I've been forced to move
from Linux to Windows.  I've made the translation with one
exception...encryption.

Following a Mozilla guide, I tried to move my gpg keyrings to the CLI of
gpg for windows.  This was done so that I could get Thunderbird signing
and encrypting my e-mails.

Apparently my secret key mae in just fine, as I can at least sign
outgoing e-mails.  But my public keyring is hosed.  Here's what I get
when I run 'gpg --list-keys':

gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (2 bytes)
gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: invalid packet
gpg: keyring_get_keyblock failed: invalid keyring
gpg: failed to rebuild keyring cache: invalid keyring
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, classic trust model
gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (2 bytes)
gpg: keyring_get_keyblock: read error: invalid packet
gpg: keydb_get_keyblock failed: invalid keyring
gpg: validate_key_list failed

My public ring has nearly a hundred other keys that I have trusted and
signed.

The kicker is that both the private and public keys work fine on my
Linux machines.

So my question is how can I move my keys so that they work fine on Windows?
