Hello, I don't have any answers, but I have some questions for you.. I have an interest because I have been using LyX with Sweave a long time, but have not yet needed a beamer Sweave.
I've only spent 40 minutes looking at your case. I don't know what a fragile frame is for, but I'll go read more about it. The problem is obviously that you have an error in the latex macros in your layout file. Trying to find where those problems might be is, well, difficult (since I don't see why you care about changing the frame, mainly).

Here's one way to try and figure what is going on. Instead of using the LyX Layout approach, just write ERT in your lyx document. If that DOES work, then you have good information because it means the fragile frame will work. Then concentrate on the LyX layout. I suppose it would help if we had a tex file with the fragile frame in use, so we could compare the working tex against the tex that LyX creates. With the existing Layout file you provide, you can see a bit more about where this is going wrong if you export the LyX document to TeX format. Then we could compare that TeX file with a working tex file. The file LyX creates will default to batchmode, but you can edit that tex file and erase line 1, the batchmode line. After that, you can run latex or pdflatex on the tex file to see what happens. >From looking at that tex file, it appears to me there is a mismatch in the frame begin and end markers. Here's a snip \lyxframeend{}\lyxfragileframe{Slide 1} \includegraphics{beamertest-001} \lyxframeend{}\lyxframe{Slide 2} Note that your Layout causes a \lyxframeend to be inserted, then a \lyxfragileframe, but there is no \lyxfragileframeend, only \lyxframeend. Do you think that is related to the trouble? Here are some latex errors I see when I run that through. I believe the first one is superficial, but the second is more serious.
