Your hardware.conf currently requires a /dev/lirc0 device.  Your udev
rule is not creating that device, but is creating a /dev/mceremote
device.  The /dev/lirc0 device may be being created automatically by
something, but it would be best if you tied it all down using matching
udev rules and hardware.conf settings.  With your current config, do
you actually have a /dev/lirc0 device?  What does ls -al /dev/li*
show?
