4) as root, chmod a+rwx /etc/lirc && cd /etc/lirc && chmod a+r lir*

lircrcd: could not set file permissions
lircrcd: Operation not permitted
Result: remote does control rhythmbox

Hi, thanks for the bug report. Can you provide some more information though? The standard lirc install doesn't configure a file called /etc/lirc/lircrcd. So what did you do when you said 'set up lirc'? Also, what is rhythmbox trying to do by modifying files in /etc/lirc? The only file that should be readable to users is /etc/lirc/ lircd.conf. None of them should be editable other than by root.
