Just curious, what do you have in your /etc/hardware.conf? It should contain at least:

DRIVER=atilibusb
DEVICE=/dev/lircd

which would make it equivalent to your command line. The other possibility is it’s starting too early but I doubt it. At the top of /etc/init.d/lirc do you have the required start line with remote_fs and syslog? Finally, try grep lirc /var/log/daemon.log to see if anything interesting is said during startup.
