Could this be related to the bug I have submitted:

	[Bug 718667] [NEW] Mythbuntu Control Centre sets DVICO USB remote to wrong /dev

https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/718667

Where mythbuntu does not create the correct /dev/ entry, creating a /dev/lircXXX node., rather than a /dev/usb/hiddevXXX (in my case) node

If it does turn out to be the case, could you please add to the bugreport on launchpad

cheers
