On previous versions of XBMC, my remote setup (consisting of a Harmony 550 and an original XBox remote dongle with a keymap.xml configuration) would pass remote events while XBMC was in the background. Dharma doesn't accept them unless it's the frontmost app. Any thoughts?

I'm not surrprised you were able to make this combination work but I suspect you are using 32bit OS becuase last time I searched there was no original XBox remote dongle drivers for 64bit OS.

Are using Eventghost? You did not say how are emulating the XBOX remote, I might be wrong but I think Eventghost can send events to xbmc while its in the background.

Yeah, I'm using a 32bit OS (Snow Leopard, as I thought I was posting this in the Mac forum).
I'm not emulating the remote, I just have the buttons progammed on the harmony, and mapped functions in keymap.xml.

But I was using the same setup on my 64bit windows 7 installation (it involved a lot of hoop jumping and unsigned driver hacking).

Can a mod please move this to the correct forum? THX.

Anyone know of any eventghost like apps for the Mac that i've overlooked, or a tutorial on lirc for mac (with or without remote server)
