Can't get Plex to recognize multiple virtual remotes

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
First of all, congratulations on an awesome product. I am just testing it and its amazing what it can do in controlling a Mac based media center PC.

I'm using an approach to get better control of things using multiple virtual remotes with a Harmony One as outlined here -> http://funwithcomputers.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/using-the-harmony-880-remote-with-your-macs-built-in-ir-port/

I've gone through the whole process and when I try to use it, its not working. When I activate it through remote buddy from the menu button, the visual shows the graphic of the remote with only the menu button activated (and that's the way the first virtual remote is programmed), but none of the other buttons on the Harmony work at all. To recap what I did...

In Harmony, I created a new device and taught it all the functions according to the spreadsheet in the attachment. I'm pretty confident that this was done correctly, and then I created an Activity to use it. The one button defined in Remote Buddy for remote 1 works, so that leads me to believe that my problem is in the behavior in Remote Buddy.

In Remote Buddy, I went into Preferences and Hardware and created all the virtual remotes, and registered them by incrementing the remote and hitting Home to record the ID for each in the mapping spreadsheet. I then went into the Behavior construction kit and defined all the actions and tied them to keystrokes. Running the actors controls Plex as expected. I then created a behavior and dragged all the actions into the behavior. I didn't do any Default Mapping there per the instructions in the link. Finally I did a Compile, Test Drive and permanetnly installed scripted behavior. I went back into Preferences -> Mapping and mapped all my actions to the different virtual remotes.

Other than testing the actors, is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this... How can I verify that the behavior is live and mapped. I does show up on the list when I activate it from my remote, but the virtual remote mapped actions don't work.

Thanks.
