I was so sure that correcting the typo would solve the problem
but....

************************ & ***************************************
the same thing happens (the pubkey error message) 
if I run apt-get update.

I haven't yet got a proper understanding of the GPG keys.

In view of Rick's advice, perhaps I'd better forget about trying to 
get ntfs-3g running under the current Debian Stable (2.6.18 kernel)

Changing the file system is another option for me to get the problem 
solved.
