Trouble with keyservers

[Daniel Benoy]

Hi.  I generated my key with the assistance of an experimental program 
called 'gnupg-pkcs11-scd' and my Aladdin eToken and I think the key that was 
generated is somehow messed up.  When I exchange my public key with friends 
manually, they can encrypt to me just fine.  But when they grab from a 
keyserver they can't.

Can someone here help me determine what's wrong with the key that comes from 
the keyserver, and help me narrow down the issue to the keyservers, gnupg, or 
gnupg-pkcs11-scd?

Here's what I see: (I try the same command twice.  One after using the 
keyserver, one after importing an armored ascii key)

kos-mos dbenoy # gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net --recv-keys 3E2E17A6
