Try:
SUBSYSTEM=="lirc", \
        KERNEL=="lirc**", \
        ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", \
        ATTRS{idProduct}=="0815", \
        SYMLINK+="lirc-mceusb"

or:
SUBSYSTEM=="lirc", \
        KERNEL=="lirc**", \
        DRIVERS=="mceusb", \
        SYMLINK+="lirc-mceusb"

It should be on one line. The backslashes escape the linebreaks, so
you can make it more readable on multiple lines.
Put it in a file named like like /etc/udev/rules.d/80-lirc.rules
