I had a similar problem on a fresh install of Fedora 22, but I'm not sure
whether the underlying cause was the same.  

In my case, the issue seems to be that the version 2.1 gpg-agent is now
supposed to (just once) convert the secret keys from secring.gpg and put
them in a private-keys-v1.d subdirectory of .gnupg.  But it was only
creating the subdirectory and not putting any secret keys in it.  As a
result, the various gpg2 programs were not finding any secret keys.  I
solved the problem by exporting all the keys on another machine and then
importing them on the F22 machine.  Now claws-mail can sign, encrypt, and
decrypt messages fine, although the kgpg program doesn't seem to see any
of the keys (public or private).
