I've never had a key expire on me, but perhaps I can provide some useful
input.

gpg --edit-key ammulder@alumni.princeton.edu
Then type, `expire' and follow the prompts.

I suggest you try again. If the changes on the keyserver don't work,
export the pubkey manually,
gpg -a --export ammulder@alumni.princeton.edu > aaron.key.gpg
Email or scp it to the other machine and import it,
gpg --import aaron.key.gpg
Tell us what works and what don't, and we'll help you get to the bottom
of the problem.

--edit-key is your friend.

I suggest you read the GPG Subkeys mini-HOWTO:
