Same empty response.
Also the same response with irsend -d /dev/lircd LIST "" ""

When I try irsend -d /dev/lirc0 LIST "" ""
I get
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: connection refused.

/dev/lirc0 is the actual mceusb device address.  I just checked,
and /dev/lircd is a symlink to /var/run/lirc/lircd

Which lirc init scripts are you referring to?
/etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf is almost empty of uncommented lines.
The only lines that are not commented out are
options lirc_dev debug=0
options lirc_mceusb debug=0

Am I missing some important init scripts?

I ran /etc/init.d/lircd restart, which I believe restarts the whole
lircd service.

Thanks
