Some thoughts...

1) Make sure you have the correct LIRC kernel modules for your current kernel
2) Make sure your LIRC modules are loaded ('modprobe lirc_i2c' if
using the PVR card's IR)
3) What LIRC devices do you have when the modules are loaded? ( ls -l
/dev/lirc* )
4) Do you have a lirc.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d?
5) Do you see any udev errors when the LIRC modules are loaded?
