Bah. Your device has an inverted xmit mask then. Or is listed in the
driver as having an inverted xmit mask when it doesn't. Either way,
getting port #1 working should be a one-line change to lirc_mceusb.c.
Give me your usb vendor/device ID for your mceusb device, and I'll see
if it isn't one of the ones I've recently fixed, or if it still needs
fixing. (A number of transceivers were added to the driver with their
xmit mask type guessed based on prior entries from the same mfg...
Apparently, even the same mfgs often ship different product IDs of the
same device with different xmit masks. :\).

Add a line 'min_repeat 2' to the config, just after the 'gap' line,
see if that doesn't help... iirc, I had to do similar to get one of my
own Motorola devices to respond.
