Hi John, I found out the problem with after I was hit in the head with a
2x4, apparently something was wrong with my secring.gpg file. I copied
from my backup over to the ~/.gnupg folder and everything looks ok
again. I was even able to sign my clamav rpms:

[chris at localhost i586]$ gpg -K
gpg: using character set `utf-8'
gpg: using PGP trust model
gpg: key 98E6705C: accepted as trusted key
/home/chris/.gnupg/secring.gpg

    Header V4 DSA signature: OK, key ID 98e6705c

Thanks again to you and everyone else who replied to this thread. One
thing for sure backups definitely come in handy!
