lircmd does not work

[Dan M. <dan...@ad...>]

Hello,
I searched the mailing lists, and I see plenty of people who seem to
have the same problem as I.  If any of you could share your resolutions
I would greatly appreciate it.  I have been having trouble for some
time.

I have LIRC working perfectly, and use it daily. I am using an ATI
remote wonder USB, with irexec running to start programs and of course
the remote functions for multimedia. This all works great.  My problem
is I can not seem to get LIRCMD to function (at all).

If someone can please give me some idea as to what I am doing wrong, I
would greatly appreciate it.

irw gives output for all the mouse pad and buttons, so I know I have
them mapped correctly. lircm starts in my /dev fine.  The error log
shows lircd accepted a new client. I did get some messages about
"ignoring the conf file" and as it turned out I had the formatting of
the lircmd.conf file wrong, and it would ignore lines.  I found those
entries in "messages" log on the system. When I corrected that problem
it didn't fix THE problem.  Due to those errors I am relatively sure
that my lircmd config file is now fine, and it looks like it loads. 


Here is my lircd.conf (named dan.conf for my own reasons)
