It looks like your i386 box doesn't have gnupg installed, or you have no
GPG key on that machine. When doing test builds, I normally build with
the -uc -us options to suppress signing.

You only need to copy over (.orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz, .dsc) or (.tar.gz,
.dsc) depending on the type of package, and then run 'dpkg-source -x' on
the .dsc on the other system.
