I am not sure what particular feature is missing in LyX to do that...

First thing: do not use psfig, it is evil. The graphics package should
do everything for you (BTW, the errors you saw are from the graphics
package trying painfully to emulate psfig...). Try to find
grfguide.dvi on your installation.

I suspect this is related to the fact that LaTeX is run in a temporary
directory. Try with \includegraphics.
