In the past, inserting graphics in eps format has worked beautifully
in LyX, as long as the files were saved with no preview attached to
them. Eps files with a preview cause an error ("An error occurred
whilst running epstopdf"), and the pdf compiles with an empty space
where the figure should be. Someone has scanned in some figures for
me, cleaned them up (using In Design, I think), and then saved them
as eps files. They say they have saved them without any preview
attached, but when I insert them and try to view the document, I get
the same error I always have gotten when there's a preview.
Any thoughts? Could there be some kind of preview still attached?

A few things to try...
1. If you are using pdflatex in LyX, then save the files from Adobe as
pdf instead of eps. I think this will avoid the preview issue
altogether.
2. In Adobe use Print to PDF or Print to Postscript instead of Save As.
3. From the terminal, try eps2eps or ps2ps on your file. This may
strip the preview.
