Hi,

It looks like you use an offline master key and use subkeys for signing and 
decryption. You can check this by looking at your secret keyring:

gpg2 -K
sec#  4096R/DEADBEEF 2013-10-25 [expires: 2018-10-24]
uid                  Some Body <someone at example.com> <jzarl at fsfe.org>
ssb>  2048R/08152323 2013-10-25
ssb>  2048R/42424242 2013-10-25

In this case, the '#' sign after the "sec" means that the private key is not 
available.

If I read this correctly, your "master" key is 658682A5, but you usually use 
the subkey 3D2B665D.

HTH,
