Nick, No, I have not loaded a lircd.conf file yet, I think I have to create one since my remote wasn't listed...? I'm at work atm, but will try your suggestions when I get home!

I'll try and check my lirc machine for other ideas if this doesnt work. I remember having to symlink a lirc device to get lircd working without any options when I originally installed it. Also, do you have a valid /etc/lircd.conf file loaded for your remote control? It is also possible to edit the lircd script to hardcode these options once they are known to be working.
