Multiple signatures to create a reference to an irt object

Hello

I've been playing around with PGP authentication and irt objects in the 
test database and ran into the following problem.

The relevant objects are

mntner:       SWITCH-MNT
irt:          IRT-SWITCH
inetnum:      130.59.0.0 - 130.59.255.255
key-cert:     PGPKEY-C3BA4795
key-cert:     PGPKEY-82146071

They are all protected by SWITCH-MNT, which has a single auth attribute 
pointing to PGPKEY-C3BA4795. Updates signed with this key work fine.

IRT-SWITCH has the attribute auth: PGPKEY-82146071.

What I would like to do is to add mnt-irt: IRT-SWITCH to the inetnum
object. If I understood correctly, I have to sign that update with two keys:
with key C3BA4795 because the inetnum is protected by SWITCH-MNT and with
82146071 because a new reference to an irt object needs to be signed by 
the key referenced in the irt's auth attribute.

The question is, which MIME message sent to test-dbm at ripe.net 
does this for me? 

My interpretation of the (rather brief) section "3.3.2 PGP support" in the
handbook is that I need to create a MIME message with nested signatures. 
So, I created such a beast by hand because my mailer can't do that (see 
first attachment). Apparently, the robot checks the outer signature but 
does not recognize the inner multipart/signed content-type (see second 
attachment).

Unless my MIME encoding is wrong (which may well be the case :-) I must 
have misunderstood the mechanism.

Any help is appreciated.
