Do you have the USB Human Interface Devices compiled into your  
kernel ?? If they are compiled as modular you need to be sure the  
modules are loading before the LIRC stuff, so compiled-in is the safest.
Should be:

CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
# CONFIG_HID_FF is not set     <------ This shouldn't matter, force  
feedback is exp. anyway
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y

You normally need this for a USB-connected UPS as well, so it is a  
good thing to have.
