Something is very broken here. It seems that for some reason your lircd 
does not pickup the setting from lirc_options.conf. I have no idea why.  
The recommended value in this case is 'debug', not '7', though.

You could test to add the --loglevel command line option in the startup 
script.

Also, a link to the lircd.conf you are using would make sense.
