The reason why my files were not copied from the tmp directory to the working directory was that my script put the resulting file into a subdirectory and therefore the copy script did not find the newly generated files. So the solution for my particular problem was to make my script put the files into the tmp directory(which is the "working directory(accessible via pwd in a Linux shell)" when the script is executed.
However some questions remain which I think are of general interest for those who like to customize Lyx to their needs. * Are there any other built in variables than $$i,$$o,$$s? * Is there any way to change their value? * Is there any way to change the name of the subdirectory where generated files are copied to? * Is this going to be documented or is it regarded internal or subject to frequent change?
