Can you encrypt files using GPG? You should test this first.
Check also the trust-value of your key-pair. To do this type 
gpg --edit-key YOURKEY
Now you can see/edit the trust-values. Kmail will not use your
key, if the trust-values are not set correctly (e.g. -/- is not good :)

Thera are two ways to set up kmail with gpg. The first is to use
the integrated pgp-feature of kmail. Then you don't need
anything else (just gpg).
The second one is to use the pgpmime crypto-plugin. This
setup is a little bit more difficult, but it's not too hard.
The advantage of the crypto plugin is that you can also
sign/encrypt your attachements within kmail. That's an
andvantage over signing/encrypt all attachements by hand. :)

What exact is the failure you get? And wich method have you tried?
When you give some information I'm shure that I can help you.
