OK, I changed one key code and then issued this command;
root@mythfe0:/home/wes# ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/myremotes
Then tested that it worked like this]
root@mythfe0:/home/wes# ir-keytable -t

Then tried it in notes clipboard and it didn't work.
Then rebooted and it worked. So I guess it takes a reboot, meaning the ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/myremotes command doesn't fully support all changes that need to happen for the rc keymap file to work right in other apps. BTW, this was all with vlc installed along with liblirc-client0. With them removed, the changes worked without a reboot iirc. Might want to close this out. I don't know.

Title:
  vlc liblirc-client0 depends breaks kernel lirc

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Subject pretty much says it all. Installing vlc also installs liblirc-
  client0. This hoses up kernel lirc by not allowing some key codes to
  be passed to apps. ir-keytable -t shows it is working fine. Removing
  liblirc-client0 fixes the problem but also removes vlc.
