I am having the same experience. After creating the symbolic link as
suggested above. I restart lirc and I get:

strator@mythbox:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
 * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC                               [fail] 
 * Loading LIRC modules                                                  [ OK ] 
 * Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
 * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
