This error means that the IrDA stack is working fine (e.g. irattach did what it 
is supposed to be doing), but when trying to enumerate the "connected" devices 
no device is found.

Can you run the pre-compiled "smart" test application from the libdivecomuter? 
You can download it here:

http://www.libdivecomputer.org/builds/linux/smart

It will output some extra diagnostics info (including all enumerated devices) 
that might give us some clues. For example it might be that the device is 
enumerated, but not recognized as being a dive computer.

Also make sure the dive computer is in transfer mode (I don't own any Uwatec 
hardware myself, so I don't know if that is actually necessary), place it very 
close and in sight of the infrared interface (infrared light can't pass through 
objects), etc.

Have you tried the official Uwatec Smarttrak software (on Windows)? That would 
confirm the hardware is working fine. I know it might be a bit inconvenient 
having to run on Windows, but unfortunately the manufacturers software is our 
(only) reference :-(
