GNUPG / GPG / S3 / Duplicity gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available

[punksgt]

I using S3 / duplicity back up script 
<http://kappataumu.com/articles/cloud-backups-duplicity-s3.html>, save 
my files. It has been working just fine, until I added a second gpg key. 
Then all hell broke loose. I tried to deal with two keys, then I delete 
the second key. Then I remove / purged gpg altogether and started with a 
fresh start.

I created a new key and this is the response I get. |GPGError: GPG 
Failed, see log below: ===== Begin GnuPG log ===== gpg: no default 
secret key: secret key not available gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: 
secret key not available ===== End GnuPG log ===== | Here is my back up 
script (but I dont think that is the problem)

Here is the details of my keys:

|/home/bege/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
-----------------------------
pub   2048R/7E4B6B9B 2015-07-15
uid                  Chad H <me at mail.com>

/home/bege/.gnupg/secring.gpg
-----------------------------
sec   2048R/7E4B6B9B 2015-07-15
uid                  Chad H <me at mail.com>

I have also modified the conf file to make this key the default one. I 
have spent far to much time on this but I'm obessed for some lame 
reason, I'm at my wits end, thanks in advance.
