Verified -- I have a softlink from ~/.lircrc to .mythtv/lircrc so it definitely is the same file.

It almost acts like the number keypad as the numlock turned off?  3=PgUp, 9=PgDn, etc.??  
I don't have a number keypad on my keyboard to verify it but if its coming in via lirc as a number I would
think it would be a number sent to mythtv?
