I inserted the references into the Lyx file through the circuitous
route of exporting the Lyx file to Latex, using
\begin{thebibiolgraphy} ... end{thebibliography} etc. with the .bbl
file pasted in.
Once it compiled correctly with pdflatex, I then imported it back to Lyx.
So the citations in Bibliography environments at the end of the paper,
yes? Then the problem is that, in order for natbib to make sense out of
author-year citations, when you insert them this way, the key MUST be in
a certain form. Otherwise, natbib has no way of knowing what the author
and the year are. (It can't just parse the entry.) I think the form is:
author[year], but I am not sure. Jurgen told me about this some time ago
on one or another of the lists, so you might find it that way. Or you
might email him directly. Though I think he's incommunicado for a bit.
Probably the natbib docs have something about this, too.
