That was an excellent suggestion. Just in case others are having, or will run into this problem in the future I will document my process.
My first step was to check to see if the problem was in my bst file. It appears that is the case. I changed the bst that I reference to plain and I was able to find the typo in one of my citations that was causing the problem. I then exported to a pdf file again and it worked. I went back to change the texify -p back to pdflatex to speed things up. Again, it still works. So it appears that the problem is in my bst file. Since this version of LyX is only to allow me to work when I am away from my desk, having the references appear wrong when I am working on the road is not the end of the world. The remaining problem though is that if I include an eps I get an error. In fact the error message says the problem is in the citation list but when I delete the eps, generating the pdf is problem free.
