Have you verified the subkey is properly signed?
What is the validity of the signing key?
Perhaps your trustdb doesn't trust the signing key?

Some solutions I've seen from googling is to change the trust for the
signing to ultimate or signing the subkey. Of course, I think this is an
odd situation that I haven't run into myself, so I'm not sure what
happened.
