Hi Philip,
thank you, I will check what you said - makes sense. However, if the
path to my bib-file is wrong, how can I cite references from it?
And: never ever did my system complain capital letters nor spaces in
file names in any of my numerous LyX documents (before trying biblatex).
Anyway, I will check that too and then report back.

Hi Michael,
There's a lot going on in your example, but what's causing problems
(if everything else worked before) might be just that you haven't set
the path to your .bib file in the right way. Path names in Linux are
case sensitive (yours begins with /Home, which is almost always
/home), and there's probably user name missing (you have
/Home/Documents, should probably be /home/michael/Documents).
So please first check this. Use "pwd" terminal command in the
directory where your .bib file is, or check the path in the file
browser (might only show when you press CTRL-L)
If your .lyx and .bib files are in the same directory, I'd suggest
using this code in your preamble (just replace name_of_your_bib_file.bib)
\newcommand\mybibfile{name_of_your_bib_file.bib}
\ifcsname input@path\endcsname\else\def\input@path{{./}}\fi
\def\@@setabsolutebibname#1#2{\edef\@@absolutebibname{#1#2}}
\expandafter\@@setabsolutebibname\input@path{\mybibfile}
\addbibresource{\@@absolutebibname}
instead of \addbibresource{/Home/Documents/Arbeiten
Mike/Hausarbeiten/MaHomex_Mike.bib}
This will make your project portable.
Good luck,
Pip

It worked for me on Fedora Linux, biber 1.8 + biblatex 2.8a. I used

Attaching a working example, might help.
Hallo Philip,
your example file is working here as anticipated.
So, one may conclude the problem with my attached sample file
(bibliography not printed) is NOT caused by shortcomings of LyX and
KBibtex but may have to do with my settings.
See attached files. I left the basic structure intact as it might be
significant towards the problem and you can see all my settings .
The paper is using most of special elements needed and typical in
linguistics.
Hence, you probably have to install other package(s), e.g. covington.sty
Thanks and regards,
Michael
