err yeah, I'm an idiot. I got the two columns the wrong way around in the remote.conf. Had the lirc remote calls in the left hand one and the vdr commands to call in the left. Once I sorted that out I got confused that for every key press I made it did two. That I realised was because whilst vdr-sxfe was passing the lirc command, vdr was also capturing it from /dev/lircd itself. I solved this by starting vdr with --lirc=/dev/null if anyone knows a better way let me know but it works so I'm happy.
