It didn't work for me either. I just wanted to replace the top row of digits from my keyboard with accented characters. I don't need 2 ways to input numbers when this means no 1-key 1-stroke way of inputing accented characters.
I started by copying the us file, then saving it as us_fr. The control center accepted us_fr. I rebooted: still no accents.
I ended up discovering their were MANY files describing the keys, and changing them all. Saving them under their original names, too.
This worked for SOME accents. The slanted ones. I still don't have ocirc, ecirc, euml, etc, but I have eacute, egrave, agrave and ugrave. Better than nothing I supposed.
Why it worked for some characters and not for the others is a deep mystery.
