Okay, I tried that, same thing, I can type in anything on the xkbd, but the directional keys still don't work. And no, I don't have any of the joystick options enabled.

Maybe I just need to consider a bluetooth keyboard or connecting a keyboard through usb... though it seems goofy to use a full size keyboard on a handheld device : ) Though it might not matter if I can't get what I have now to work.
