The three lines that are echo "HEXCODE" >> gpg.keys are the issue for  
me, I guess. Where do those numbers come from?

where the channel maintainer announces the channel and tells you how to 
use it.

Ok, where in those directions are you supposed to find the keyid?

They're the keyids for the given channels you're using.  The channel
publishers should state the keyid in use for the channel.  You need to specify
them so that when sa-update checks the signature on the update file, it will
know what keyid to consider valid, which protects you from someone else
creating a channel update file and signing it with another random key.
