This isn't a keyutils problem. keyutils deals with encryption keys not keyboard keys. I think this probably belongs to one of the Xorg components.

Can you please compile up evtest.c [1] and run it on your keyboard device (when the X server is not running). Then hit some of the multimedia keys and post the output here. I would wager a guess that they keycodes are > 255, in which case the server will silently ignore it. The X Protocol doesn't support high keycodes. [1] http://people.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest.c
