I wonder. Does this png image exist?

I'm very suspicious I'm afraid. Here's why:
LyX thinks that it has converted the image just fine and so will be running
latex on your exported document with the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options]{your_file}
where your_file is _home_danny_Documents_nID_DigiQLite_Chart1
If the file does not exist after all, latex will complain and produce no
output at all.
If, however, LyX could not convert your image then it would instead export
the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options, draft]{your_file}
latex would be quite happy with the non-existence of the file, producing a
little box in the document along the lines
your_file not found!
So, the fact that latex is happy yet there appears to be no image is very
suspicious.
You have placed the image in a float you say.
Have you checked that the image is not at the very end of the document?
What happens if you move the image out of the float so it appears Right
Here?
