Sorry, I ran out of time yesterday. I'll try this today and also try the
1.0.2 version and report back.

For now it looks to me that kmymoney does not understand that the file is
encrypted and fails reading it.

I tried what you suggested - copied the file locally and deciphered it with
kgpg - everything working fine.

Also I was able to open the unencrypted file with kmymoney afterwards.

What's the rootcause for this ... somthing kmymoney and gpg file?

What I would like to also try if I am going to have the same issue with a
clean user environment - i.e. create new user, create personal gpg
encrypted wallet and test with it.

My guess is that linking between encryption and wallet is set at creation
time and written somewhere, so that the app knows it has to decipher the
specified file.

thanks in advance 

regards
