IR Remote, Play / Pause acts as if being double pressed.

Hello, long time user, first time poster. Sorry for the long post.
To start, I'm running the current version of VLC (2.1.3) on Windows Vista. I have a Logitech Harmony 510, setup to act like a Dell R6 Remote. In order to create a universal remote, assigning the normal function of the remote to specified keys (for instance, the play button now works as the space bar), I'm using Intelliremote.
Only recently have I tried to configure the remote and various programs that work with it, to all use the same universal keys, such as the arrow keys for fast forward & rewind, as well as the space bar for play/pause. I've done this, mainly as a result of Hulu. Well, before this latest VLC update (which I'm unsure if it's the problem), I only had the remote working partially with each program.
After working at it for a couple of hours, I found that some remote buttons worked in VLC and some did not. I also found that practically every Dell R6 remote responded to intelliremote (as a functional, assignable button). That being said, I narrowed down my list of compatible buttons to just a few, that will work with hulu & VLC.
The only thing I can't figure out, is why, for the life of me, does the Play/Pause button act as if it's being quickly double pressed in VLC.
Ever other button sends a signal once per press. The time counter in VLC jumps ahead by 5 seconds (as set), when pressing fast forward once. That being said, now that I think about it, the Play/Pause button is assigned as the space bar....which is done through intelliremote....the only button that's functionality is altered.
Again, why is the Play/Pause acting as if I'm double pressing? On occasion, If I'm quick enough, I can get it to pause. If I pause VLC using a mouse or keyboard, I can always unpause with the remote...
