I have this working on K5.5 , but out of the box it didn't.   From memory it was the script /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh 
that was wrong.  Cat that and try to run the command from the command line.  Check the syntax of that,  check the devices are present and that your device is connected to serial port com1 and not com2 (bios should show that).  That gets set in /etc/irblaster/hardware.conf
mine is

#!/bin/bash

# Automatically Generated by /javascript:SetCmd(cmdSend);usr/local/bin/irblaster.sh

echo Changing to $1

REMOTE_NAME=DirecTV_HD20-100
  /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME "power"
  sleep 0.5 too

for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
  /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
  sleep 0.5
done

Check that you have the correct /etc/irblaster/irblasterd.conf too.  I am using a directv box.  You can find the config files on the lirc website.
Good luck!

If it fails as a user try as root.
