It looks like there's a quoting problem somewhere.
sh C:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/scripts/TeXFiles.sh
is very different to
sh "C:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/scripts/TeXFiles.sh"
... OK, got it. Patch attached. This will eventually make it into the LyX
1.3.7 tree when Jean-Marc returns from holiday. I'll also look to backport
it to LyX/Win 1.3.6 version 2.
