[mythtv-users] IRW not connecting to LIRCD

> mythtv-server lircd-0.7.1[5318]: check if /dev/lirc is a LIRC device

make sure the device exists, that is what I ran into:
ls -lag /dev |grep lirc

Sometimes the device is called lirc0... I hacked mine by symlinking,
but that is an ugly hack.

Also make sure the lirc daemons and utilities are the same version.
