Your problem is indicated by the part that says "trust: -/-".  Your own
key should be ultimately trusted, but in your trustdb, it's not trusted
at all.  That's why verifying your signature warns you that the key is
not trusted.  Use the 'trust' command in the edit-key interface to
assign yourself ultimate trust.

good times,
Vineet
