I just thought I would add in here that I can confirm the same issue in ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 with this mce remote tranceiver. Mine is actually called a mediagate mce remote but is the same one, GP-IR02BK. The Ir reciever works perfectly out of the box but cannot seem to transmit anything. I get no errors doing irsend from command line but the ir emitter led doesn't flash at all. I have tried on lirc 0.8.3 and 0.8.4a (which should have the correct hardware and manufacturer codes fro this remote from what I gather).
Anywho, I don't know if this is the right place for this either, i just came across this post and though i would add my experience with this remote in here.
