Hi, Grant.  Thanks for replying.  I'd tried that method, but it didn't work.  
However, I think I may have found the solution at last.  My latest googling 
trip came up with a suggestion to try 'gpg --rebuild-keydb-caches', and I do 
believe that the new keys are all showing now.  It went on to say that the 
command should be put into the startup file for gnupg - it was talking about 
an older version, so it may not be relevant to newer ones, but I think it's 
worth a try.  I'm going to do that now.
