You're going to have to be a little more specific. What kind of output are you getting? Do you successfully Acquire the keyboard? What values are getting returned in your array of buttons?
Also, make sure that you're running the Debug Runtimes. You can do this by going to Control Panel->DirectX. Then click on the Direct3D tab. Make sure that the debug output slider is on maximum and put a bullet beside Debug Runtime. This will cause Visual Studio to output debug messages that will give you hints as to why a given D3D function isn't working right. Do the same for the DirectInput tab

Okay, I did notice something that may perhaps be your problem.
Add these 2 lines in your Keyboard header file.
#define KEYDOWN(name, key) (name[key] & 0x80)
char buffer[256];
Your setup is good, and well logged, so if there was a problem your messages would tell you.
Each time you check for input, you should try something like this
And finally to check for keys...
There is a listing of all the DI Key names somewhere in the docs.
Hope this little rant helped.

if(FAILED(Keyboard->GetDeviceState(sizeof(buffer),(LPVOID)&buffer))){ Keyboard->Acquire(); Keyboard->GetDeviceState(sizeof(buffer),(LPVOID)&buffer);} And finally to check for keys...
if(KEYDOWN(buffer,DIK_W)){ // move forward} There is a listing of all the DI Key names somewhere in the docs.
