bluetoothd[2351]: input/manager.c:input_manager_init() input.conf: Key file contains key 'IdleTimeout' in group 'General' which has value that cannot be interpreted.
After experimenting it appears that you need to ensure that there aren't any blank characters at the end of the 'IdleTimeout' line in /etc/bluetooth/input.conf.

It seems the example input.conf in the wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._BD_Remote has several spaces after the numeric value in the IdleTimeout line. This could be a problem for anyone who cut/pastes that file.
It also says that IdleTimeout is measure in minutes. I thought it was seconds. I have IdleTimeout=30 and it definately disconnects after 30 seconds, according to the bluez list-devices script.
