Figured it out.

$export DISPLAY=:0
$xinput list --name-only
Virtual core pointer
Virtual core XTEST pointer
Macintosh mouse button emulation
Virtual core keyboard
Virtual core XTEST keyboard
Power Button
Power Button

Similar to Gabe, my IR device is not being listed. So maybe my existing 
exclusion string is working?

Section "InputClass"
         Identifier "Ignore IR remote as keyboard"
         MatchProduct "Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote 
Transceiver (0471:0815)"
         Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
