I've extracted some Thawte and CAcert keys and certs from my browser and
imported them into gpgsm (from gnupg-2.0.3, with it and all of its
dependencies downloaded and compiled in their latest versions over the
weekend).  ls -l ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ lists the three private
keys that I imported, and all of the corresponding certs show up in
- --list-keys:

$ gpgsm --list-keys psmay

(The CAs' certs also show up when I don't qualify this with my name.)

However, it doesn't seem to realize that it has the secret keys for
these certs:

$ gpgsm --list-secret-keys
/home/psmay/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
- ----------------------------
$

And since it doesn't, I also can't use the private keys:

$ gpgsm --local-user
26:D3:A8:D9:00:F0:C9:A1:AE:38:3C:25:39:C0:D6:31:29:95:44:F8 --sign somefile
gpgsm: can't sign using
`26:D3:A8:D9:00:F0:C9:A1:AE:38:3C:25:39:C0:D6:31:29:95:44:F8': No secret key

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
