This is the thrid time I see such a request.  There is no ultimate 
answer to this.  I think the easiest way is the following:

Make a backup of your keyring database "Keys-Gtkr.pdb" to the PC.  
Open it with a hex editor (or emacs hexl-mode) and change the byte at 
address 0x23 from 04 to 01. Then put that on your palm again and 
start keyring.  Keyring thinks it has an old database and asks 
whether it should upgrade it.  I tested this procedure and it works.  
It is important that you don't mistype your password when upgrading.
