I overread this. That is very interesting. Marc. please post the
complete
\includegraphics command of the .tex file that was created by LyX.
Does it
create something like type=eps? If not, then either your image or your
pdflatex compiler is broken.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I have tested the 3 images in a standalone file, and the images
display fine using the PDF (ps to pdf) option. It looks like the 3rd
image, specified as eps rather than jpg, is converted to pdf before
the tex file is created.
The jpg images are all in tmpbuf.
If the .eps image file is causing a problem, could you convert it
.jpg and reference the .jpg version rather than the .eps in LyX?
Maybe the eps conversion is faulty and if it is the file itself then
it might fail to convert to another image format, so narrow it down.
I did a search for TeXshop and error messages.
Maybe this will be helpful, maybe not. Most of the users use
systems other than Macs and/or Texshop so don't have answers
arising from their own experience.

viewPDF with TeXShop fails if the path contains spaces,
giving an error
Error Message: "Couldn't build descriptor: OSErr -1740"
This was reported by Andreas in the beginning of July(05). He also
observed that the bug could be fixed by inserting some quotes
around referenced variables. (This revealed some very strange
phenomena that have not yet been explained...)
Lars and Jon pointed out that the real problem is a missing
[tclAE::build::TEXT] in the TeXShop viewPDF driver.

"The default TeXShop preference for the teTeX binary directory is
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current. But if users
have installed Gerben Wierda's latest TeX redistribution, they
also have Intel binaries. On Intel machines, the teTeX binary
directory should then be
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current. TeXShop now has
code to make this change automatically. When the program first
starts, it calls "uname -p" to determine the current processor.
If the result is "i386", then TeXShop permanently changes the
above preference to /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current.
However this change is not made if the user has manually changed
the default /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current to
some other location. Thus if a user has the Fink teTeX distribution
or some other distribution and has set the teTeX binary directory
preference to point to it, the preference will not be changed."

When did you last update your system? But though that
sometimes fixes bugs, it can also introduce backward
compatibility issues.
Good luck,
