What are you getting in /var/log/messages when you start lircd? I had to symlink my /dev/lirc node to /dev/usb/hiddev0 (your usb device may well be different). If the driver needs a module has this been built and installed, and does it load? Are you running udev? This should take care of your /dev node mappings for you. Unfortunately I can't on my system.
