Michael,
    I think I figured this out. The X10 mp3anywhere doesn't need a 
kernel module lirc_serial
 From this webpage on lirc.org. http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html

Either reboot or remove the lirc_serial and set the uart back to a 16550

rmmod lirc_serial
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550

Then, since you already have a good lircd.conf for your remote, you 
shouldn't need to record.
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/lirc to tell the lirc daemon how to run.

The options you need to change are

driver = mp3anywhere
device = /dev/ttyS0

reload lircd and then hopefully then something will show up with irw


If you need to record, you could do it like this

irrecord -d /dev/ttyS0 -H mp3anywhere <remote name>

the following is my /etc/sysconfig/lirc file in case you don't have one.
