I fought with this ever since AT posted that he found the apt package issue. I did apt-get remove on lirc and lirc-kmdl. Then I double checked to make sure all the files were in fact removed from the system by downloading the RPMs from atrpms and running an rpm -qpl on them. I then rebooted to make sure there were no stray old modules still loaded. Next I ran an upgrade on the lirc-lib package to make sure it was up to the 20040311 level and verified this via the file time stamp and through Synaptic. Once I was happy that the lirc-lib package was current I loaded the lirc-kmdl and lirc packages via Synaptic. I felt I had more control via Synaptic. I verified my modules.conf settings... rebooted one last time then chkconfig and service lircd start. All was well.
Long way of doing it... yeah, but I'm by far not a linux expert so I danced with it for a little bit before I made it work. I had been without the remote for a week and was growing tired of it. Actually I was about an hour away from a total rebuild before I got it running. I couldn't shake the 0308 version for the longest time. I believe now it was due to lagging modules loaded while I was upgrading. Lesson learned. I hope this helps you in some way.
Kudos on Mythtv. Wonderful program, my thanks to the many developers.

For me, lirc got working after 1-2 reboots.
