This is not possible, since there is no common name space between the 
keymap and remote.conf: Key names of the keymap are used interternally  
by loadkeymap only, and are *never* exported to the driver/remote 
plugin/vdr. Look into the source code.

This way you just disabled the events from /dev/input/event0.
I wonder why you load the remote control plugin if you don't need it.
Are you using two remote control receivers at the same time?
This would explain why events get duplicated...

See above. Don't load the remote control plugin for interfaces which you 
don't want to use.
