Turning on debug logging should show if the kids keymap is ever loaded (it should).
If you see a problem or need help deciphering the debug log please open a new thread for it (regression?).
I have been contemplating actually using this hack for my own XBMC setup, when and if I do I can test if this works for me. What is holding me back is an ATV2 bug that stops remapping of remote functions.

OK, I think I see where you went wrong. This works just fine for me btw on my Windows laptop.
You never, ever alter the system keymap files (You are not clear on what exactly you did, but this sentence suggests to me that's what you did, "i edited the keyboard.xml by adding")

Follow the guide to the letter and create a keyboard.xml in the keymaps subfolder of the profile folder (userdata\keymaps).
Code:
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <b>LoadProfile(Kids)</b>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>
If this is what you actually did, I can only suggest looking at the name of the profiles, did you change the name of Master User by any chance? (XBMC seems to use the profile name for Loadprofile).

Again, debug log should reveal what is up.

Ok I can confirm an issue on beta 1, this works fine on Dharma and a nightly build from September.
I can switch once, but not back.
ie, if I start XBMC in the master user profile I can switch to kids and vice versa, but never back. Will try to get someone to look into it.
