In the case or the original poster, that's more likely to be the problem than 
the solution.  The following line from the latest version's lirc startup script 
for "Debian":

# This is an init script for Debian 2.1 Slink distribution.

That probably explains is it expects to find /dev/lirc instead of /dev/lirc0, as 
udev expects.
