Thanks, farmerdave. I downloaded the remote.xml file and made some adjustments and ssh'd it to /home/user/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/, restarted XBMC and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I even tossed in Notification("Hello", 4) in a button and that doesn't do anything either... I'm expecting to see a "Hello" message on the screen for a few seconds.
I'll keep playing here to see if I can get it going.

There are a few ways to configure the Harmony remote. I have two activities set up with different MCE types. One is MCE remote or MCE computer or something like that, and one is MCE Keyboard. They both seem to work. I believe the MCE Keyboard one emulates keypress events of the keyboard. Last night I mapped a notification to the "0" key on the remote (in MCE remote configuration) and it still did nothing, so I think that whatever the Harmony is sending is not in the remote.xml file. I also mappped a Notification to the "v" key on a keyboard and that one works, using a keyboard. So, I think I'll mess with the keyboard.xml file and see if I can get the MCE Keyboard settings on the Harmony to do what I need. However, I'm still not sure if it will work. I had "ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,Albums)" mapped to the keyboard 'z' key and it still just takes me to the MyMusic screen to choose Genre, Albums, etc. I'll check syntax and ensure it is prefixed with XBMC.

Have you checked what your remote is sending by using irw in a terminal?
