This is a pretty common problem. It came up just a couple of weeks ago. You need to fix the keyboard mapping in your XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file. The xkeycaps program can be helpful in figuring out the problem. You can try the lines below that came up a couple of weeks ago since it sounds like you have a similar keyboard type.
