try this:

gpg --secret-keyring .gnupg/secring.gpg --secret-keyring ~/.pgp/secring.pgp --keyring ~/.pgp/pubring.pgp --default-key hilliard@debian.org  --sign-key 390D6559 

That is, tell gpg about both secret keyrings. I think I had to do
that.

try to create a temporary gpg pair of keys:

cd
mkdir .gnupg
gpg --gen-key

And then try again to read the keyring.
