according to my documentation you should use
\renewcommand\figurename{Fig}
So, without the extra braces.
I tried it (with Lyx 1.1.6fix4 and komascrip class Report) and it works when
I put it in ERT in the document, but not when I put in in the Preamble.
Don't no wy, but try it somewhere at the beginning of your document.

PS. using the extra braces doesn't matter, it works also.
