I'm on debian wheezy, xbmc 12.3 and Linux version 3.2.0-4-amd64

If I copy the /usr/share/xmbc/system/Lircmap.xml to my user directory, ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps, making no changes, the log file shows:

...and nothing is loaded from my local Lircmap (I have tried various changes in other iterations).

I can even make a change to the system Lircmap.xml and it works fine. In my example, my Hauppauge remote generates a "KEY_POWER2" which is not handled by xmbc. Adding
<power>KEY_POWER2</power>
to /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml works like a charm.

Since I'd really rather not change the system file (!), is this a bug or what am I doing wrong.

thanks,

Well, is there actually a <keymap> section in the file?

No. I've tried adding one, but get a different error message. The error is generated from an exact copy of the system Lircmap file, which does load successfully (all the "Adding remote mapping..." are from the Lircmap in /usr/share.

Odd, now that I checked my (working) Lircmap.xml has just a <lircmap> node with a <remote> node inside.
