Jarod,

  You obviously know way more than I do about lirc, but on my 10.04
system the /var/run/lirc/lircd socket exists whether or not lircd is
running. If I delete the socket lircd creates a new one the next time
it starts, but the socket is not automatically removed when lirc
stops.

Cheers,
James
