I don't know whether it's the same problem I had, but I thought I should 
mention it just in case.

I don't have the original microsoft remote, but a cheap aftermarket one, 
  which doesn't have a valid device ID.
The result of this was, that it was picked up by the xpad driver (driver 
for joypads), instead of xir (driver for the xbox remote).

I know that you use the 2.6 kernel and that the driver for the remote is 
different, but if the remote (the dongle actually) has an invalid device 
ID it might still get picked up by the wrong driver (or not at all).

If you have the original microsoft DVD kit, then you can probably 
disregard this post.

See post #39 in this thread for more information:

You can see a list of usb devices with
$ cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

The P: line contains the device id (Vendor and ProdID), while the I: 
line contains the kernel driver name (Driver).
