You don't give any actual information about the key, so it's not
possible to help you. I suspect, given the versions of GnuPG, that
you generated a Elgamal sign+encrypt key. This key type was dropped
from the OpenPGP standard, so newer programs will not support it.
What does 'gpg --list-keys 7CC30F25' return?
