I have the same error with 2.6.25-gentoo-r9. I also use mceusb2. Previous LIRC (0.8.5) worked fine.
I'm having the exact same problem! Using: Linux 2.6.28-gentoo-r4 and these lirc deviced: "devinput inputlirc mceusb2"

Change your driver name to mceusb. > Sorry, typo... mceusb2 and mceusb ARE MERGED. I've installed, and reconfigured my application to go to the correct socket directory. Formerly it was /dev/lircd, and now is /var/run/lirc/lircd. I had to create the /var/run/lirc directory as root.

The mceusb2 driver will vanish from a revision bump I plan in the next couple of days.
The mceusb2 driver is no history and you will see a warning if still using it.
*** Bug 286132 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
another comment is that the lircd.conf file is now in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf instead of /etc/lircd.conf
