Description

This is a bit of a duplicate of #18619 which was closed. I cannot locate the `/keybase/private//.keys` or `/keybase/private//.keys/pgp` folders at all in the terminal, not even using the `keybase fs ls` command rather than trusting the shell to find it.

I did import the keys to GPG via the `keybase gpg export -s` command to get them out of Keybase and then just imported into GPG normally; this worked just fine, no issues.

my log id: 64699e4c01b121046e0c401c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing /keybase/private//.keys and .keys/pgp paths with `keybase fs ls`, then compare that behavior with the successful `keybase gpg export -s` workflow. Use log id 64699e4c01b121046e0c401c to inspect the reported case; done means the pull-private behavior is reproduced and its expected outcome is documented or corrected.
