Starting over... I launched Lyx, brought up my test file,
bare.metal.lyx, and hit "export->html". I got a dialog box indicating
that it can't move a directory named "bare.metal" from /tmp to
/home/ccurley/lyx.
Here's the output from lyx:
[ccurley@charlesc ccurley]$ lyx &
[1] 7575
[ccurley@charlesc ccurley]$ Converting from docbook to html
Calling db2html 'bare.metal.sgml'
output is bare.metal
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat
Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6/docbook-utils.dsl#html
Working on: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir7575FHFMz6/lyx_tmpbuf7575MDdTbP/bare.metal.sgml
Done.
Possibly the problem was that there was already a ~/lyx/bare.metal
left over from a previous build. I removed that, and ran it
again. This time, I got no dialog box, and a file named bare metal
with a length of zero. The /tmp tree appears to have the correct
output.

I have no objection, but don't know enough to object. My interest in
docbook is to write a how-to for the Linux Documentation Project, and
I believe they prefer 4.x

You might want to put a separate message on the list. I know if I were
not directly interested in this thread, I would not have followed it
this far.
