This sounds like something that has been reported a few times recently,

I usually start LyX from the Kde mini-command line (i.e. Alt-F2), but I tried
starting it from a real terminal just in case. Unfortunately there is no
difference.
A further puzzle: if I export to Pdflatex and compile (successfully) in the
local directory, successive attempts by Lyx are successful as well. I suppose
this is due to the presence of .aux and .bbl files. But shouldn't Lyx compile
to pdf in a remote and safe environment, where the presence of stranded latex
byproducts should have no effect?
Hmm. This is puzzling.
Try starting LyX from a terminal and see if you're getting any errors
there; maybe try "lyx -dbg latex" or "lyx -dbg files". Also, peek into
LyX's temporary directory---should be /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.RANDOM---and see
if the bib file is successfully being copied over; you can also look
there are the *.tex file that LyX is generating. For some reason, LyX
just isn't finding that file.
