OpenPGP SmartCard v2.0 w/OmniKey 6121

Hi,

I've been researching the archives for the past week after receiving
my OpenPGP v2.0 smartcard from Kernelconcepts.  Problem seems to
revolve around signing, but between by two systems OpenSUSE 11.2
(gnupg 2.0.13) and Mac OS X 10.5.8 (MacGPG/gnupg 2.0.14) I have
slightly different results.

First I was only able to create the 3 2048-bit keys on the linux
laptop but would fail to create a 3072/2048/2048 set on the same
system.  On the Mac I couldn't create anything (tried all 1024 and
2048 keys).

With the card now having 2048 keys I could successfully change all my
card options (did this before key generation).  On the linux system I
could encrypt/decrypt but can not perform any signing/verify
operation.  On the Mac I can encrypt, but neither decrypt/sign/verify.
 Errors vary from "general signing error" to secret key not found
(when trying to decrypt. I was unclear how to actually setup my new
keys on the Mac so I performed an export and export/export-secret-keys
over to the Mac from the linux system.

Please let me know what types of debugs I can provide back for review
or any other test information one would like performed or provided.
Output of '--card-status' below.  Thanks in advance.
