>From the GnuPG 2.1 man page:

       --secret-keyring file
              This is an obsolete option and  ignored.   All  secret  keys  are
              stored  in the ‘private-keys-v1.d’ directory below the GnuPG home
              directory.

GnuPG 2.1 works in a different way with secret key material, so you can't have multiple secret keyrings in the same homedir anymore.

HTH,
