I just walked over and plugged a keyboard in to the FE.  Hitting "v" 
worked just fine.  After fiddling with things for about 15 minutes and 
not getting any where, I tried simply re-typing the section in the 
lircrc file that I had previously used cut-n-paste in to place, and 
viola!  It is working.

There must have been some control character or other hidden character in 
place that mythtv didn't like..

Thanks!
