Perhaps I may help here:

Using gnupg 1.4.7, self compiled with idea-support under Mac OS X
10.4.9, PPC (have no intel around yet) I get these results after cutting
and pasting the key from the OP (Message-ID
<200704072030.42438.gpglist at umbra-obscura.de>) and saving with Textwrangler:


gpg --import test.asc
gpg: key 2D879666: public key "Testing only <test at test.test>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

Seems correct after reading all posts.
