I tried the LyX-2.0.0beta3+qt4.dmg and it works for me.

What you can do to verify the problem:
* restart LyX
* make the messages "console" visible - View -> View Messages
* enable "selected" status bar messages for "Files used by LyX"
* try the thesaurus

The output should contain something like that:

If it's different perhaps you know what the problem is.
In case this isn't helpful, ask again and tell me what you see in the log 
window.
