Correct. Could this have something to do with the odd path that was given

Whenever I try to save LyX documents (File - Save or Ctrl-S), I get a
Backup Failure notification (image attached). After I hit OK, the Save
option in the File menu is grayed out, indicating that the file has been
saved. When I reopen the file, it looks fine, so the file itself is saving
OK.

http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs
This is the RCS system accessible via LyX under File-Version Control
The system doesn't have a GUI to work within. It's command line driven.
