Do you get any output from /dev/input/event6 at all?
If not, then the problem is not in LIRC, but the kernel driver which is
part of the Linux kernel.

Have you made sure that you are using the correct config file?

My response:
No, we tested that and there was no output.

I thought that, given there were no events coming through, the config
file wouldn't matter - is that the case? I selected my remote in the
Mythbuntu Control Centre GUI, but I'm pretty new to all of this...

So, according to them, my problem is in the kernel.
