The problem with your key on the keyserver is that you have a primary key that is tagged for Signing (signing data) and Certification (signing keys), and a subkey tagged for Authentication (proving you are you). You don't have any key or subkey for encryption. Or to be more accurate, you DO have a key for encryption, but the keyserver isn't storing it. This is a well-known keyserver bug with the pksd keyserver software, but many sites refuse to stop running it, despite this and other bugs. If you use a keyerver running sks software, you'll be fine. I believe that pool.sks-keyservers.net has only sks servers in its mix.
