A write error. No I was doing it as root.

$ cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols
[rc-5] [nec] [rc-6] [jvc] [sony] [lirc]

The mental shift here that was unclear to me is that with 0.9.0 I need 
to move to the devinput interface from the LIRC interface I used with 
0.8.7. My /etc/sysconfig/lirc:

LIRC_DRIVER="devinput"
LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/event14"

Now I think there is a udev rule I can provide to create a more stable 
device name.
