Don't know about the version mismatch - probably means that 
v2.x can't understand v6 keys?

The public key you added is the one from your client, not 
your own, and so your catalog.cfg line should have 
'customer@his.dom', not 'staff@custompress.com', as it's 
his ID associated with that public key. You would see your 
own ID  in the keyring, but as the signer for his key. At least 
this is what I've just found working with PGP 5.0, and there 
is a different command syntax with v2.x, but the principle 
should be much the same.
