Fire up xev and tell us what is displayed when you push these various keys.
Thanks - I forgot about that:

But for the track skip keys:
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer
FocusIn event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer
FocusIn event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
So it is recognizing the volume up/downkeys but not responding to them (i.e., when they are the key maps for volume up and down, they don't adjust the volume).
I changed the shortcuts to use the volume keys, and they show this:
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987731, (110,163), root:(951,229), state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 165 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987964, (110,163), root:(951,229), state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 165 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False

The differences between the two views is this:
2c2 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217713917, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987731, (110,163), root:(951,229),
10c10 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217714167, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987964, (110,163), root:(951,229),
17c17 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217715861, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217989723, (110,163), root:(951,229),
25c25 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217716135, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217989951, (110,163), root:(951,229),
I don't think this is significant, but I thought I'd include it anyway.
Thanks.
