When BibTeX citations mysteriously fail, usually the first thing I look
for is an indigestible .bib file, which seems to be the problem here. I
compiled you doc using both LyX and export to LaTeX/manual compile, and
both failed as they did for you. Then I poked around the .bib file.
I remember - I had the same problems earlier.

I think that the character immediately after "tortoise," is causing
BibTeX digestion problems. I deleted it, save the .bib file, then
deleted and reapplied the references in the LyX document, and it then
compiled correctly.
Strange - I tried the same and it didn't. Could you please post or
emailme the working example, then I can try it out?
I'm no expert on encodings, but if that character is a legitimate
character in ISO8859_1, there's still the question of whether that's
what BibTeX is using. The LyX document seems to be set for "default"
encoding (for British). I don't know enough about BibTeX to know if it
reads the encoding from the .bib file, from the .aux file (which
presumably matches the source document), or whether it just uses
'latin1' regardless.
Thanks for this info - with the encoding issues I am still quite confused.
Thanks
