You can run a strace on lircd and see if it gives you any direction as to what is wrong. If that does not help if you will give use some more verbose output of what you are typing, and what you are getting back that would help. Also if you can show us what modules are loaded, ie: # lsmod | egrep -i "ir|mce" dm_mirror 60617 0 dm_mod 99737 2 dm_mirror,dm_multipath lirc_mceusb2 45572 1 lirc_dev 46408 1 lirc_mceusb2 These are the modules I have loaded for my mce ir receiver. Also post anything if you see anything that is questionable in your /var/log/lircd, or appropriate logs.
