I sometimes get the same using bdremoted. Usually taking out the battery and reinserting them works. Mine re-pairs automatically and works.
I'd like to try this out at one point but why use python scripts to pair when you can use hidd --connect <mac>?

I've seen it "just work" with some people; "all the sudden work after a reboot" with others; "eventually work after restarting bluez a few times"; and of course, not work at all with a few.
In my case, it didn't work the first few pairings, then just started working after tinkering with the ps3bdremote script and then pairing/unpairing/pairing.
So.... if it seems to be working, try a few more times. It may just end up working.
If not, the LIRC approach is a good alternative, but does involve more software and configuration.
