This is GOOD. It means that the driver detected that the line is 
"normally" low ("active high"), which means that are  OK w.r.t. 
inversion. (You might want to check that it says "active low" when you 
are using the IR receiver.)

I would stop lircd on the receiving side, and use mode2 instead; command 
line

     mode2 --driver=default

If that does not give any output, you likely have a hardware problem.
