Trying to install ARTS GPG Key and I get the following:

[root@continent1 /]# rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
error: RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt: import read failed.

That is the correct syntax, you sure the key isnt 0 length?

Just noticed something else as well..
When I run up2date -l
I get the following message:
Invalid metapkg id emacs-nox

Is that connected to your key not importing?

I did say in the title that I was stupid yeah?? lol
I didnt realize that I had to GET the txt file first THEN import it.
Or should I have to do that?? I did and it installed so all good.

heh, yeah you need to download it first:

wget http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

Odd timing there on the emacs error, I saw that just before I read this on another box. As near as I can tell thats some kind of bad entry on the server side of the up2date service, its harmless fortunately, unless you happen to use emacs on your box (its an editor).
