Wayne,
OK found the hidden directory. Here is the output
. .fonts.conf
.mozilla
.. .gconf
.mythtv
.autorun.lck .gconfd
.openoffice-install-log
.bash_history .gnome
.openoffice-lock
.bash_logout .gnome2

.rhn-applet.conf
Desktop .libquicktime_codecs
.rhopenoffice1.1
.dmrc lircrc

I am using Fedora Core 2 and used the Documentation
from Jarod on Wilsonet.com. Still I moved the lircrc
to the directory and still do not have the remote
working in Mythtv. Many thanks for you help. David
