Some things I would try:
Make sure mythfrontend has been restarted since lircd was last restarted.
Make sure the keycodes in ~/.mythtv/lircrc match those in /etc/lircd.conf
Make sure '~' is the same user mythfrontend is running as.
Run irw in a terminal window and make sure that your button presses
are being received as you think they should be.
Finally check that mythfrontend really is looking for lirc, using
% ldd /usr/bin/mythfrontend| grep lirc

Chris
