Note: I have unsubscribed off the list due to time constraints -- but I
will continue to assist you as time permits.
Bottom line:
Do an
"lsmod | grep lirc"
If modules don't show up, find out why they are not loading. If they do,
then "dmesg | grep lirc" would almost certainly show something.

What "setup.sh" file are you referring to?
(Also, you have problems in the areas of 1-4, so worrying about 5 is
premature. Read on).

This looks problematic -- no /dev/lirc0 (ordinarily I'd expect /dev/lirc ->
/dev/lirc0 rather than having /dev/lirc as a character special file
). Also permissions is an issue: your named pipes are only accessible by
root.

Well, that's no good. Since lircd would run as root, that cannot be a
permissions problem. You should try running it from the command line to
see if it complains.

When you do the modprobe, you should see some messages that show up in
dmesg. If not, then the modules are not installing properly. Even if you
do the modprobe at the command line, after you do that, dmesg | grep lirc
should show something.
You might try:
lsmod | grep lirc
That should show what lirc drivers loaded. If none, then you need to find
out why before going any furter.

Also not good.
Until you deal with #1 thru #4, #5 is irrelevant.
