These are pure line drawings, right? No latex text.
How are you generating the pdf file?
If you are going the latex->dvi->ps->pdf route, then your converter route
should be from xfig->eps using the native xfig conversion package. In LyX
speak that'll be:
\converter fig eps "fig2dev -L eps $$i $$o" ""
If you are going the pdflatex->pdf route, then your converter route should be
xfig->pdf. No intermediate format (eps) at all.
\converter fig pdf "fig2dev -L pdf $$i $$o" ""
If you're route is actually xfig->eps->pdf, then you may well be experiencing
problems with epstopdf.
Incidentally, Kayvan, the 'solution' to your problem would be to define your
own converter, epstopdf_kayvan.sh, that runs the eps file through sed to
strip the "%%Orientation: " line before calling epstopdf.
