I'm confused about GPG, and it's confused about me

You are telling GnuPG to clear sign a file called "encryption test" with
a local key that has a User ID (UID) containing "--default-key".

Try using:

    gpg --clearsign --local-user
0x3A74A1DB2C796657D14BA6B83EDE6A3226F66FEB encryption\ test

or, this one if you use the other key:

    gpg --clearsign --local-user
0x1F356DC33182016A8E59E5099A72F153A780EFF6 encryption\ test

Same fron encryption:

    Key 1: gpg --armor --encrypt --recipient
0x3A74A1DB2C796657D14BA6B83EDE6A3226F66FEB encryption\ test

    Key 2: gpg --armor --encrypt --recipient
0x1F356DC33182016A8E59E5099A72F153A780EFF6 encryption\ test

Normally, you use "default-key" as an option in gpg.conf (usually on
~/.gnupg/) like this:

default-key 0xDEADBEEF

Where DEADBEEF is your master key keyID or, more secure yet, fingerprint
(like I did above).
