Ken,
It sounds like the remote signal is also being processed by evdev.  Try 
the following command the block evdev.

echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols

If that is successful, place it in the /etc/init.d/lirc startup script 
near the end of the start() function.  I had the same issue and was 
relieved to find this solution in the following thread.  Make sure to 
put everything back into place like it's always been, such as .lircrc, etc.

Good luck!
