Why? It should not make any difference.
If you copy it in the .lyx folder, you have only acces on it as the current user. If you' re logged in as another user (ot root), LyX can't find the layout file.
(Assure also that the corresponding LaTeX class is correctly installed in the LaTeX distribution.)
This seems to be a more likely culprit.
S�bastien sends me his .layout and indeed, that was the problem.
