gpg can't decrypt with PGP 7 secret key

[Doug Ellsley]

I have installed GPG on my Mac OS X system and then imported a PGP 7 
public and secret key pair into my gpgp keyrings. Now I can encrypt to 
that key but when I try to decrypt with it I get the error unknown 
cipher algorithm and no secret key.
as you can see below,  I do in fact have the secret key on my keyring, 
but it won't decrypt. Any suggestions???
Thanks, please cc me as I am not on the list.
