Hard to tell without having the INF. Post it and I'll take a look.

Some possibilities: did you reference the CAT file in the INF's
CatalogFile section? Did you remember to put the cat file in the same
directory as the installation? Does the INF file install on a unique PnP
ID? (I'm not sure GENERIC_SYSTEM_KEYBOARD (or whatever) will work). Is
the version date resource set correctly to a date after that of the
system's normal driver?
