Make sure you have the .lircrc file (and mythtv symlink) in the mythfrontend user's directory. Maybe your mythtv home directory does not have this LIRC file (which maps buttons to actions) but root does, which explains why it worked when run as root, but not as mythtv. irw should work if the /etc/lircd.conf file is correctly installed, as this merely tells you which button you have pressed. The file mentioned above allows applications such as mythtv, xine and mplayer to use the buttons defined in /etc/lircd.conf for actions within the applications themselves.
