Why not just edit the file yourself? I've included a portion of my
file so you can see how things should look:

# Volume Up
begin
remote = SKY_NAVIGATOR
prog = mythtv
button = VOL+
repeat = 3
config = F11
end

# Volume Down
begin
remote = SKY_NAVIGATOR
prog = mythtv
button = VOL-
repeat = 3
config = F10
end


Essentially, the 2 important lines in each section (vol up/vol down) are:

i) the remote name (which you need to make sure is the same as all the
other sections in your lircrc file), and
ii) the button name (which will be in your /etc/lircd.conf file) so
that you connect the Volume buttons on the remote to the action you
want to achieve.

Give it a whirl and see how you go!
