Yes, I get that. My rules file looks like:

#Create stable name for IR Receiver
#SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", DRIVERS=="mceusb", 
SYMLINK+="input/ir-mceusb"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", 
ATTRS{idProduct}=="0815", SYMLINK+="input/ir-mceusb"

Ah hah! Figured it out. I had named my file 99-remote-control-lirc. 
Renamed it to 99-remote-control-lirc.rules and it now works. Error was 
between keyboard and chair.

$ls /dev/input
by-id    event0  event10  event12  event14  event3  event5  event7 
event9     mice
by-path  event1  event11  event13  event2   event4  event6  event8 
ir-mceusb  mouse0
