Hi, I was able to get a USB numeric keypad working for jogging by following the examples on these two pages (particularly the second link by Ed):
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant and http://softsolder.com/2013/02/25/linuxcnc-hal-pin-names-belkin-nostromo-n52-speedpad/ I'm not sure where your particular problem is coming from but if you follow the steps Ed gives you should get some success.
