Thank you for the rdblacklist pointer Yeechang. I can easily become 
mystified. :) See my efforts to get 0.9.0 running. Now why would 0.9.0 
willfully ignore my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf configurations? I guess I'll 
never know. I'm back to Axel's always working 0.8.7 packages.

In this case the entry in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf was enough to 
keep mceusb from loading.

Thanks again.
