The next problem is that my DIA file has an embedded bitmap image in it. When I open the file in DIA, it looks great. When I do the file conversion on the commandline, it works great. But the preview in LyX fails: the embedded bitmap shows up with DIA's 'broken image' icon in place of the file.

I am guessing that the LyX conversion script is moving my file to a
temporary location in order to do the file conversion, and this is
causing it to break.

AFAIK, Dia does not actually embed images in the .dia file. Instead, the .dia file contains a reference to the file. So my guess is that the path isn't used properly during conversion process. Perhaps because the .dia file is copied to a temporary directyr during the conversion?
