I’m also doing IR blasting on a Debian wheezy box using an mceusb and it works fine with an almost identical setup as yours. The one difference I see is I have:

MODULES=“mceusb"

where you have no modules. Also try a:

grep lirc /var/log/messages

and you should get something like:

kernel: [    5.901973] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 251 
kernel: [    5.902535] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0

Start with the module load and if that doesn’t fix it I’ll look closer at my setup.
