I do not use macs, last time I did it was running linux as opposed to macos 9.
:-)
In any case the script responsible for converting the lyx files to a newer
format is called lyx2lyx.
If you get its path (e.g. here on linux it is /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx)
then you can call it
directly. It has several options for command line call and it even supports
compressed lyx files
directly.
I can help further if you need.
