I am in close proximity and in direct line of sight, and i did enable the media remote.
Make sure ir port is pointing at xbox (top right next camera button) and no fingers or objects are covering it.
HOT TIP
If you want to test your ir port is working try this:-
1. load up xbox360 media remote application on your N900.
2. using a digital camera or a camera on another phone look at your n900's ir port through the secondary units viewfinder lcd screen and every time you press a button on the media remote application that is running on the N900 you should see a small light come from the ir port on the N900.
see A light = working ir port
no light = nokia service centre (or application not installed correctly)
Even with a normal remote control you should see infra red light using a camera LCD display to view it.
Here is an image of my N900 IR signal using a Samsung digital camera.
I'm not getting anything like that, I tried with my Sony camera, my dad's, mom's and brothers' phones and no luck with any, on the remote or on my N900.

Are you pointing the N900 IR at the camera lens and then viewing the N900 on the LCD screen.
I have tried this and whilst the Xbox360 remote doesn't work for me other IR apps I have downloaded work this way on my phone. So it seems the this app not the phone IR which is not working
