Doug,

Even when I use a backup programme and restore I still get the same error message. So no-one
has ever copied their .gnupg folder to another laptop. No one has ever done this with any
success. You have all failed. Clearly there's something wrong with gnupg that does not like
being backed up copied whatever. If it were another programme say Thunderbird no one would
use Thunderbird. They would say Thunderbird was crap.
