I think you are saying that REMOTE_DEVICE should be set to one of these:
$ ls /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-*
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-event-mouse@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-mouse@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-mouse@

The only one that made sense to me was the kbd one.

Here is my hardware.conf file (skipping empty entries):
$ grep '="[A-Za-z0-9]' hardware.conf
REMOTE="ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (ati_remote)"
REMOTE_MODULES="ati_remote"
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="atiusb/lircd.conf.atiusb"
TRANSMITTER="None"
START_LIRCD="true"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

cp /usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
service lirc restart

I still get nothing through irw.

Here is how lircd is getting run:
$ ps ax | grep -i lirc 
 7360 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd

This is made harder because there is no documentation about what the
possible --driver values are!  I'm running out of patience for this.
lirc had bad gaps in documentation and is very hard to debug.  Not fun.

Title:
  Snapstream Firefly non-functional

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  Using the mythbuntu control center configuration for a Snapstream
  Firefly and atilibusb, no key presses show up under mythtv or irw.

  I couldn't get the userspace driver to work in 10.10 either (but
  didn't file a bug - bad user).  In 10.10, I got it working using the
  lirc_atiusb module, but that also doesn't work under 11.04.

  I've attached the hardware.conf below.  The lircd.conf just includes
  /usr/share/lirc/remotes/atiusb/lircd.conf.atilibusb
