Ah, just noticed something else here... I believe you're mixing up what's what 
with lirc. Try this:

LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/lirc0"

And the link should be "ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc". Here's some stuff off one 
of my FC3 boxes:

$ ll /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  root     5 Mar 20 01:57 /dev/lirc -> lirc0
crw-------  1 mythtv root 61, 0 Mar 20 01:57 /dev/lirc0
srw-------  1 mythtv root     0 Mar 20 01:58 /dev/lircd
