are these only active while the MC20 window is in focus because I don't see how using space as a hotkey could be a good idea.  I mean i use it all the time for typing.

Correct.  These mappings only work when Media Center is the active application.  Switch to another application and these mappings won't do anything with MC.

There are third party apps that do global key mappings under OSX, but I don't know much about them.

Finally, MC seems to globally map the media control keys on the Mac keyboard to play/pause and track forward and backward.  Those keys are labeled on the Mac keyboard on the top row.  I don't use them, but they've worked every time I've tested them with MC.
