Hi!
I installed the latest build of GnuPG 1.4.10b for Windows and tested the
OpenPGP Card 2.0 the following way:

1. Generated new keys on the OpenPGP Card 2.0 for email address
test at example.com
2. Encrypted a file: "gpg -e -r test at example.com testfile"
3. Decryted the file: "gpg -d testfile.gpg"

Unfortunately I retrieve the following error:

C:>gpg -d testfile.gpg
gpg: detected reader `Gemplus USB Smart Card Reader 0'
gpg: detected reader `Texas Instruments SmartCardSlot 0'
Bitte die PIN eingeben
gpg: verschlüsselt mit 3072-Bit RSA Schlüssel, ID 278D09E8, erzeugt
2009-09-07
      "Test Test <test at example.com>"
gpg: Entschlüsselung mit Public-Key-Verfahren fehlgeschlagen:
Allgemeiner Fehler
gpg: Entschlüsselung fehlgeschlagen: Geheimer Schlüssel ist nicht vorhanden

I don't understand the reason for this problem because the claimed key
278D09E8 is exactly what I generated before. "gpg --card-status" proves
that the required key is available:

Any idea what is wrong?
