I will try that tonight when I get home. I installed eventghost but couldn't figure it out last night. So I copy the remote code from the log and use it in the keyboard.xml I believe?

In eventghost add the plugin for xbmc. Expand this plugin tree and you can see buttons and actions listed. Drag and drop 'MceRemote.Unknown.5FFFEFC' to the action 'Down' and so on. One advantage of eventghost plugin is that you can minimize xbmc and the keypress will still work.
