You're right, the database is Keys-Gtkr.  However, I am not sure how the SD=

card mechanism works  (I still have an old Palm without any SD card slot). =

Keyring is expecting the database in main RAM, so you probably need to copy
it there (except if the card manager does that automatically).

Maybe someone on the keyring mailing list has some experience with running
