What's your setup and versions etc?  I'm using the IR on a PVR-350 with
kernel 2.6 patched with flameeyes patch (for lirc) and lirc-0.07pre4.  I had
the exact same problem you describe.  rmmod lirc_i2c and then modprobe
lirc_i2c would fix it so a client could connect again.  To fix this
permanantly I had to edit lirc_dev.c in the kernel sources and change line
159
From:                      if (ir->shutdown || !ir->open) {
To:                        if (ir->shutdown) {

Then recompile and reinstall lirc-0.07pre4
