—list-keys doesn’t expand groups. Try this instead:


andrewg at serenity % gpg --group fnord at test.eu=BD9D4DEE7B2FF1CBEF2EE0C4E0ACD3E0CBE7874A -r fnord at test.eu -e < /etc/shells > shells.gpg
gpg: 0x40F9B9601900E974: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user

sub  rsa2048/0x40F9B9601900E974 2014-10-21 Ineiev (fencepost) <ineiev at gnu.org>
 Primary key fingerprint: BD9D 4DEE 7B2F F1CB EF2E  E0C4 E0AC D3E0 CBE7 874A
      Subkey fingerprint: F495 D912 C380 C534 23CD  6B7C 40F9 B960 1900 E974

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID.  If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes.

Use this key anyway? (y/N) y
