I just provided a solution for my 6310i - maybe it works for you the 
same way. The assignment of the IR port to COM2 keeps IrDA from working 
... try using my successful approach (working thanks to Pawel).
o kill xgnokii + irattach if already started
o unload modules (ircomm, irtty, irport, nsc-ircc, irda)
o setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none (just to be sure)
o again load modules
o start irattach + start IR mode of my phone
o start xgnokii once my mobile is seen in /proc/net/irda/discovery (not 
before)

connection = irda, model = 6310, port = /dev/ircomm0
