The following entries from keymaps.xml are examples of those ignored by the current SVN version of the helper. They work just fine in the beta provided at the start of this thread:
<!-- F3 --> <button id="55">XBMC.ActivateWindow(videolibrary,movietitles,return)</button>
<!-- F2 --> <button id="54">XBMC.ActivateWindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles,return)</button>
<!-- F4 --> <button id="56">XBMC.ActivateWindow(Weather)</button>
<!-- F5 --> <button id="93">XBMC.updatelibrary(video)</button>
<!-- F7 --> <button id="95">XBMC.Container.NextViewMode</button>
<!-- F8 --> <button id="96">XBMC.Container.PreviousViewMode</button>
(Ignore the oddly placed spaces, it's just a formatting error in the reply window)

Just tried here and I see something similar, thanks for pointing this out!
(please attach logs to such bug reports (console.log clearly shows what's happening))
What's the problem?
As already pointed out, the Harmony is essentially a bunch of AppleRemotes (currently 10), which have all their own ID. So hitting one button on the Harmony is like hitting one button of those 10 AppleRemotes. Problem is, that we currently get only notified which AppleRemote is sending a button, on the first press that comes from that remote. An example:
XBMCHelper starts up, assumes ID 150 (the default one for OK, menu, right, left, etc)
you press Menu: Helper gets Menu
you press F3: Helper sees new Remote (e.g. ID==151) and again a Menu press. Now ID==151 combined with Menu gives button 54
you press F4: Helper sees OK, combined with ID==151 gives button 55
...
XBMC/Helper is restarted and sets ID to 150
you press F3: Helper sees Menu, combined with ID==150 -> a simple Menu press is sent.
Pressing Menu (or left/right,...) and afterwards F3 should fix it. If you use the Harmony to start XBMC by pressing menu, this should work from beginning on.
do you see the same?
cheers,
mdd

I take it the new one still hasn't hit the linuxport branch? I built from SVN today and once again it failed to work - directions and OK work, but nothing else. I had to replace it manually with the one on the first page of this thread.

@Doraemonn:
Just moved your post (again) to this thread. There are 2 threads for the new XBMCHelper, one for Babylon release, one for current (post Babylon) svn. Would be nice if you could post to the right one.
Maybe README.osx is a good place to start before building current svn.
cheers,
mdd

My sincere apologies!
I have read and followed Readme.osx, but not checked for updates to the document for recent builds. I'll re-visit it.
Thanks.
