According to

http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Language-Codes
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Country-Codes

the codes should be correct. I'm not sure either whether it must be lb or
lb_LU.
Honestly speaking I'm not surprised that you don't have a single lb_* file
on you system.
To my knowledge the only software beside Geany which has a luxembourgish
translation is Notepad++,
Limewire and KDE has a few parts which are translated, though not even
completely.

I'll try the Ubuntu Forums, maybe somebody there knows an answer.
