FYI for anyone dealing with this issue: lircs default socket is /var/run/lirc/lircd. I set lirc to use the devinput driver, with the socket located at /dev/lircd. Irexec expects to find the socket at the original location, so I deleted what was there and created a symlink pointing back to /dev/lircd.
