why won't pass allow entries to be added or edited?

I have been using pass (cli pw manager) for a couple of years now, and I just started using yubikeys. I have (2) YKs which I configured as duplicates of each other, transferring the same gpg subkeys (S, E, and A) to each one. I added the YK gpg-key id to my ~/.password-store/.gpg-id file, and re-initialized the store to re-encrypt the entries using the new key. I can now use pass with either of my YKs to open a password-store entry using pass, however, when I try either to edit an existing entry or to add a new one, I am met with:

$pass add test
Enter password for test: 
Retype password for test: 
gpg: B7C0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1BB7: skipped: No public key
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: No public key
Password encryption aborted.

A check on the key returns:

$gpg -K YUBI

and

Trying to re-import the **pub** made no changes, as expected. Encrypting a file like: $ gpg -r YUBIKEY -e file then decrypting it with: $ gpg -d file.gpg works as expected. I am prompted for the passphrase and file contents are listed afterward. Now I am confused and unsure what the issue is. If anyone has any suggs or advice I would sure appreciate it. Thks.
