Actually, if you want a specific subkey, you need to append a ! to the
key ID (probably need to quote it as well for the shell, \! ).
Otherwise, GnuPG will use key selection rules to take the latest
authentication subkey from the certificate selected.

It's a fine and simple method. The advantage of my method is it will
also work with keys that aren't part of an OpenPGP key :-). Plus it's
more fun.

HTH,

Peter.
