I am unsure about how You could be exporting Your Key incorrectly.  I
was able to Import Your Key 'automatically' via
hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net but did receive the "invalid Signature"
Error.  Therefore, I would appreciate Your sending Me Your Key as an
attachment via Direct Email.  I shall be glad to receive Your Key and
compare it with the one retrieved from the Keyservers.

What I am noticing at present is that You have a DSA 1024/4096 Key with
a 1 year lifespan [as currently configured].  A 4096 encryption sub-Key
is not the considered 'Default' for DH/DSS [DSA] Keys so I assume that
this was created deliberately.  What My Enigmail Console indicates is:

gpg: armor header: Hash: SHA1 gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.7
(MingW32) - WinPT 1.2.0 gpg: original file name='' gpg: Signature made
03/25/08 01:55:04 using DSA key ID 9C2D2BB6 gpg: BAD signature from
"Allen Schultz <Allen.Schultz at gmail.com>" gpg: textmode signature,
digest algorithm SHA1

Is it possible that Your Friend is confusing a 'Bad Sig' with an
'Invalid Key'?
