If this is still a problem, try the following.  Open a DOS window in the 
LyX bin directory, and type lyx -dbg 5 at the command prompt.  It should 
open the LyX GUI.  Now try importing your LaTeX file and (without closing 
the LyX window) switch back to the DOS window and see what messages you 
got relating to the import operation.  Hopefully, if a script blew up, 
you'll find out which one (and maybe something about why) there.

BTW, I agree that the %~p0 in reLyx.bat looks a bit goofy by Windows 
standards, but it works on my (XP) system.
