Just had to change the input file, which for some reason stated the timout in minutes but was actually counting seconds... the default setting of 1 minute (actually 1 second) wasn't comfortable
Thanks darkshadow & Freezy for the clear instructions!
ps: I'm using the most recent XBMCbuntu 12.2-amd which is built upon Lubuntu 12.10 on a sony vaio SVE1512E6EW and I'm a complete noob

Just to confirm the the code works on a fresh install of Xbmcbuntu RC2.
Here are the steps I followed including pairing.
Code:SSH into your XBMC box
sudo apt-get install bluez libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev python-dbus python-gobject
sudo service bluetooth stop
cd ~
wget http://kitlaan.twinaxis.com/projects/bluez-ps3remote/bluez_ps3remote_4.91.diff
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/bluez-4.91.tar.gz
tar xvfz bluez-4.91.tar.gz
cd bluez-4.91
patch -p1 < ../bluez_ps3remote_4.91.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /etc/bluetooth/input.conf /usr/etc/bluetooth/input.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf /usr/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/bluetooth/serial.conf /usr/etc/bluetooth/serial.conf
sudo reboot
SSH into your XBMC box
cd ~
wget http://kitlaan.twinaxis.com/projects/bluez-ps3remote/ps3pair.tar.gz
tar xvfz ps3pair.tar.gz
cd ~/ps3pair
sudo python ps3_pair.py
Follow on screen instructions to pair remote.
To check remote is connected run.
/usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/list-devices
Edit-update /etc/bluetooth/input.conf file as required
sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/input.conf
More detailed information can be found on the Wiki Page
I'm trying to follow the instructions you quoted. I made it all the way to the device being registered. However, path: /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/list-devices does not exist. I don't see the bluez in usr/share/doc. Now what? Also, I read that you should be able to open terminal in xbmcbuntu and press the numbers on the remote and see it work. However, this doesn't happen for me. And if I run this command: sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/input.conf it just opens a black and blank screen.
I installed blueman as recommended in the troubleshoot. The device appears, and when I right click and select input service - it says connection failed host is down (112)
