running irrecord kills ircd

[<chi...@we...>]

Hi!
I'm trying to configure lirc for the first time in my life. My intention
is to record the lirc-config-files for the remote controls I've got at
home. Then I want to upload these files to my Playstation Portable and
with the help of the homebrew-program called "PSP Universal Remote", the
PSP should be turned into an ir remote control. So far, I could only
control my Leadtek Winfast 2000XP on Windows with my PSP, the file
Y0400052 worked fine for that. Nevertheless, I've got some more devices
at home, that I want to control with my PSP. But for these ones, I
couldn't find any (working) lirc-configs. So I want to record them
myself using irrecord.
And that's where the trouble beginns. I've installed Ubuntu 6.10 and
lirc(lircd 0.8.2-CVS)  from the repo using "apt-get install lirc". The
ir-receiver is connected to my TV-card Leadtek WinFast 2000XP. I've
started lircd with the following command: ""sudo lircd -n -p 0666 -d
/dev/lirc /etc/lirc/lircd.conf". Then I've started irrecord with the
command "irrecord -d /dev/lircd bla" on another terminal-window.
Immediately lircd is stopped with the following error:
"lircd-0.8.2-CVS[5908]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.2-CVS[5908]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
lircd-0.8.2-CVS[5908]: default_init(): No such file or directory
lircd-0.8.2-CVS[5908]: caught signal
Terminated"
Irrecord keeps on running until I hit the Enter-key two more times, then
irrecord shuts down too with the output: "Terminated"
Can somebody tell me, what I've done wrong? Or what else I need to
configure? And it would be nice, if somebody could tell me a valid
hardware.conf for lirc too.
