It seems that your key is only primary key (which is for signing other
key and for signing data).  For encryption, you also need a subkey for
encryption (or primary key should have a flag for encryption).

You can add a subkey for encryption by 'gpg --edit 7E4B6B9B' or you
can create new key with primary key and subkey for encryption.
Default is "RSA and RSA", which means RSA primary key and RSA
encryption key.
