Did you set up the keyboard layout by a X config? If not, try this:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf 
Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "keyboard"
       MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
       Option "XkbLayout" "de"
       #Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

JFTR did you try to log in by "translating" the us keyboard mapping to
the German one? You can search for the correct keys by simply pushing
the keys, when you're ask for the username, chars as e.g. "-" are
somewhere else on a German keyboard.
