Do you have any other LIRC hardware in your box? I am thinking of 
Hauppauge cards, integrated LCDs with a remote receiver, maybe another 
receiver (i.e. Mac mini). All of these could cause you to have a second 
entry.
Did you install a cvs version of lirc without removing/disabling the 
existing?

just a few thoughts...
