Righty then, what driver are you using? You should be using dev/input as
shown above from your startup log, I'd run it manually first to check it
works, try stopping all lirc processes and running

# irrecord  --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event6 
/home/spark/Desktop/irrecord.txt

Then if that works setup lirc to use dev/input (use /etc/sysconfig/lirc)

HTH
