I verified that it doesn't work at all, actually :)  It's not only for
secret keys.  Even for public keys we get a problem similar to Thranga's.

OTOH, the question wasn't particularly clear about what the problem was.  At
least the above description is how it is supposed to work, and I think it
works at least for certificates with S/MIME (gpgsm).  Now we only need to
fix gpg (or invoke it the right way) to make it actually functional, and all
the code will magically start to work ;)

If you know of anything else that doesn't work, please let me know!

Thanks,
Marcus
