What version of the Crypto Stick are you using? I've successfully
moved 4096-bit RSA primary keys to the OpenPGP smartcard and 2048-bit
RSA subkeys to a Crypto Stick v1.2, but I would expect the Crypto
Stick would also support 4096-bit keys. I don't know if early versions
wouldn't support keys of that length.
