That needs to be ~/.mythtc/lircrc (note the absence of the leading
period). The file you likely have it symlinked to is ~/.lircrc (which
does have a leading period).

Other than that, does you have LIRC support compiled into MythTV? If
you are using Fedora and atrmps.net for MythTV, it is. Using irxevent
may mean native LIRC support is not compiled in.
