New ControllerRemap utility, 7/11/13 update available (Version 0.0.11)

Finally getting to a few of these posts. Sorry for the long delay.
@Zero_Koop
I think the command line needs the file ext, like this
Mame ribbit –ctrlr MyArcade.cfg
Also, keep in mind that if there's ANYTHING wrong with the xml formatting in the CFG file, mame won't load it or will lock up.
If in doubt, there's tons of XML verifiers online you can upload your file to to verify the format.

Maybe my guide was a bit too long for consumption....
Up to me neck in another project atm, but as soon as clear of this and have moved house - I'll look at knocking together a GUI for this. Thinking summer. In the mean-time... persist fellas! I nearly gave up, but once it clicks, it's a doddle (although you gotta be very meticulous).

Unless, I'm misunderstanding you, that won't work.
The Sample.cfg file that comes with mame wouldn't have any controller remap entries in it to begin with, so there wouldn't be anything that ControllerRemap could do. To be honest, I'm not sure what it would do, so it throwing an error in that case might be "by design" (Heh, yeah, I'll go with that! :) )
At any rate, grab the download and read through the first part. I know it's not the easiest utility to work with, but I just didn't feel like completely reinventing Mame's controller configuration UI (and that's pretty much what I'd have to do to create even a remotely decent UI for it.)
Just take it one step at a time. If you have a specific stick you want to get working, concentrate on just that one device at first, get it mapping the way you expect, then move on.
Pay particular attention to getting a LIST of your devices at first. the /LIST command will ID your devices and let you know what you've got to work with.
Pipe that to a file, and you can copy an paste device id's, makes that a lot easier.
And definitely check out Stigzler's info. As soon as I get the time, I was going to incorporate his info into the main readme.

I loaded up your test files and tried it out. Everything appears to get rewritten the way I'd expect it to.
Check out the /system/input section in the CFG file (actually, the verion you posted has the rewritten entries.
When you say it doesn't work, are you referring to from MAME or when MAME is run via hyperspin?
I'd first try running MAME directly from the command line.
It almost sounds like you just don't quite have Hyperspin configured properly to execute MAME with the right command to tell it the proper CFG file to use.
be sure to specify
-ctrlr myconfig.cfg
(ie make sure you add the file extension as I believe it's required by MAME).
Let me know how it goes!
