Yes, indeed. I get an "General Error".

The gpg-agent is running and working. I'm using PGP/MIME with KMail and that 
is working just fine. My only problem right now are X.509/SMIME mails. I'm not 
exactly sure what you mean by "validate in kleopatra" but I did import my 
Certificate, private Key and the root Certificate (CACert) into Kleopatra and 
Konqueror (just in case that makes a difference) and they are shown as valid in 
the Certificate View.

KWatchGnuPG gives me some output but I'm not sure what is means.

It looks like something is wrong with Dirmngr, right?
