[mythtv-users] Pedestrian LIRC question

I thought that I was well beyond the mundane LIRC problems, but I seem
to be missing something in the steps that glue it to mythtv.  My
installation is 0.22 on Ubuntu 9.04, which I have installed nd wiped
on a test box several times over the past month with no problems.  I
hope I am missing something obvious.  Does anyone see anything?

LIRC is working to the point were IRW reports correctly.
000000037ff07be1 01 Up mceusb
000000037ff07be1 02 Up mceusb
000000037ff07be0 00 Down mceusb
000000037ff07be0 01 Down mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 Right mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 Right mceusb

I am running mythfrontend from the user 'mythuser' and have created
the standard symbolic link in the home directory to lircrc.  The same
lircrc that I have been using for over a year under prior MythTV
installs.

ln -s /home/mythuser/.mythtv/lircrc ~/.lircrc

lrwxrwxrwx 1 mythuser mythuser 29 2009-10-04 00:51 .lircrc ->
/home/mythuser/.mythtv/lircrc

Sample of the contents of 'lircrc'
 begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = Up
   repeat = 3
   config = Up
 end
 begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = Down
   repeat = 3
   config = Down
 end


Thanks,
jr
