Alan,

Can you check your Mythfrontend logs to see if you get the same error  
message as I have listed below.

2008-07-09 21:46:47.552 Using the Qt painter
mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
2008-07-09 21:46:47.553 lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding  
messages
