The only lircrc that matters for the frontend is
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/.lircrc.  You'll want to be sure your mythtv user
(presumably mythtv) actually owns /home/mythtv, the files within it,
and has proper rights to it.  The same goes for /dev/lircd.  Most just
chown 777 their /dev/lircd.

Since you switch back and forth between the root account and mythtv
user, this is usually the issue.  Try tailing your lircd log file to
be sure that when the frontend starts, your log shows that lirc added
it as a client.

Did you compile lirc from source or install the rpm?
