This is not available from the GUI :-(

That does not help much. Run lyx2lyx from the command line:
/usr/share/lyx-1.4/lyx2lyxlyx2lyx oldfile.lyx > newfile.lyx
(you'll need to adjust the path), and post the errors that appear.

You are circumventing lyx2lyx by putting the number 245 in the header. That
will never work, the file format has changed too much.
It would be really nice if you could help us to find the problem by
producing a minimal example file. Recursively remove one half of the file
until it works ("binary search"), and send the final file. If you don't
want to disclose the contents publically you could also send it to me
privately.
