Oops! Your dmesg (so to speak):

Have you reloaded the driver, and thus have the device available on 
something else than /sys/class/rc/rc0 (here /sys/class/rc/rc1/)? 
ir-keytable should tell you. Of course, you should then write to the 
corresponding protocols file to disable kernel decoding.

Also note that you can use "cat /sys/class/rc/rc?/protocols"  to check 
current status.

Cheers!
