That is to be expected as each file serves a different purpose.
/etc/licd.conf contains mappings from the remote codes LIRC receives
to button names that LIRC passes to the system. lircrc maps those
button names to keys or command on the system that programs can use.
You need to ensure that remote control definition and button names
match up between the two files, otherwise there is no connection
between the two files. See the LIRC docs for more information.
