[mythtv-users] lirc works, but not in mythtv

I've got lirc working on my myth box, but I can't control mythtv.  If
I start a movie in mplayer from mythtv using the keyboard, the remote
works fine.  I can control everything in mplayer I need.  It just
doesn't work in mythtv.

Originally, I did have it working in mythtv IF I used irxevent. 
However, I was having issues with that (as previously posted).  So, I
was told to not use irxevent, but to use mythtv's native lirc
support.

How can I debug why mythtv is not picking up lirc events?  Below is a
snippet of my ~/.mythtv/.lircrc.
