This may be the problem, LyX is looking for either
D:\exchange\BibTeX_Notizen.lyx,v or
D:\exchange\RCS/BibTeX_Notizen.lyx,v to know if the file has been
registered on RCS.
On my linux machine, with RCS version 5.7, the option -x handle those
extension rules, and it can be added to the RCSINIT environment
variable to modify rcs behaviour. (see 'man ci' for details)
I know nothing about OS2, but if its filesystem supports the comma
character in filenames, you may try adding "-x,v/" to your RCSINIT
environment variable (and rename your existing RCS/* to RCS/*,v).
If you can't do that, you may try apply the patch I enclosed and
rebuild LyX. I tested it OK on my machine. It engages only me, and you
:)
Hope it helps.
