The README for huludesktop mentions the following:

  *** Hulu Desktop for Linux requires that lircd (>= 0.8.2) be run with 
the -r
  (--release) switch.
 
        If you are using Fedora, you can add the line
        LIRCD_OPTIONS="-r"
        under the start() section of /etc/init.d/lirc

        If you are using Ubuntu, you can add the line
        REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="-r"
        to /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
