Not too sure about it as you don't say which system you are using for LyX
but I guess it is Unix/Linux. If so, I suspect it is due to the different
format that Mac and Unix use for text files like PS files. I guess you
need to convert them to Unix format. If you have already done this, then
try to look at the files in a text editor. In my experience transferring
MAC RTF files to Unix systems frequently adds extraneous garbage at the
beginning and end. You may have the same problem, if your file format is
ok.
