OK, I changed one key code and then issued this command;
root@mythfe0:/home/wes# ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/myremotes
Then tested that it worked like this]
root@mythfe0:/home/wes# ir-keytable -t

Then tried it in notes clipboard and it didn't work.
Then rebooted and it worked. So I guess it takes a reboot, meaning the ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/myremotes command doesn't fully support all changes that need to happen for the rc keymap file to work right in other apps. BTW, this was all with vlc installed along with liblirc-client0. With them removed, the changes worked without a reboot iirc. Might want to close this out. I don't know.
