That (along with transferred settings/cinfig files) could be the cause.

Please do NOT create a new key just because you are on a new system.
That way you end up with many similar keys in order to be able to  
decrypt old messages.

In the new profile, just import the one (private+public) key from your  
old system
(gpg --import <key.gpg>) prior to installing EM and select that key in  
EM's wizard.
