How was it transferred between platforms / machines? Sometimes these things 
can go wrong when you transfer it as ASCII when it's binary.

If you have the list of key ID's the best way is to now get updated versions 
from the keyservers - outdated keys from an old file are not much use to 
anyone.

Use gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys keyID
instead.
