Same issue...
Clean install of kubuntu intrepid i386 and amarok 2 instead of 1.4, with instructions from kubuntu.org.
Play/Pause button works as global shortcut, but "Media Next" and "Media Previous" only work as local shortcut. If used as global, they do nothing.
Using other key combination like "Meta + U" also works as global for changing music
.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc file looks fine after changes:
