import : error reading key

[Yard, John]

I exported a key from gpg 1.2.5
With gpg -o myfile.gpg --export myfile,
Ftped as binary to another system, and tries to add 
./gpg --debug --verbose -ka /workarea/ACHgnupg/myfile.gpg

And got the error :

           
gpg: reading options from `//.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: error reading key: public key not found

Any leads concerning this public key not found ?
