And it worked. I copied the file across to the server, moved it to my
IRBlaster dir, changed as root and relocated to that directory, fixed
ownership on the file to look the same as the others (in my case,
squeezeboxserver;nogroup). Then I went to a player prefs>IR-Blaster,
hit Reload and there was the MSR device in full glory.

I believe there are 2 possibilities at this point: either you're not
adding to the right directory, or the file is not readable
(owner/rights issue) by the server.

Do you savvy the Terminal app on the Mac ? This is what I'd do:
1. Go the the dir:  "cd /full-path-to-IRBlaster-dir<return>" 
(don't type the quotes. Hit return after each commands below to launch
execution)
2. Have a look at the damage: "ls -la" 
(a list of files in the dir, owner, rights… is displayed)
3. Change what's needed.
3.1 Ownership: "sudo chown newowner:group-of-newowner MSR.conf" 
(sudo asks for your mac login password first. Then when you're
authenticated the command is executed with elevated privileges.
Once executed, re-do ls -la and the landscape should look different)
3.2 Relax access rights: "sudo chmod a+rwx MSR.conf"
(makes the file readable, writable and executable for anybody. Not
secure but practical.
Once executed, re-do ls -la and landscape should look different)
4. You're done, time to quit: "exit"
(and you can close the window and quit Terminal.app. Keeping the window
open won't harm and allows to look at the trace. You can use copy-paste
if you want to post what you see.)

With a reload on the server, a restart if reload fails, you should see
the MSR device. If not, I guess this is not the right directory.
