Why did you symlink /dev/lirc and /dev/ttyS0 ?
"lirc_serial" is connected to /dev/lirc ( I don't remember Major and 
Minor-Number, because I Am at work )
The "lircd" reads /dev/lirc and interprets the raw-data coming in and 
answers on a domain-socket. 
The "irw" and all other LIRC using programms connect to that domain-socket 
and get clear messages about pressed buttons. 
So remove yout symlink on /dev/lirc. Re-Install the LIRC ( so that the 
/dev/lirc will be created newly with the right major-minor device number)
Restart lircd, and it should work.
