Some of the utilities LyX uses might not like those.No, nothing at all. I even zipped up the offending files into a tar file so I could attach it as an example, but when I tested it by untaring the files in /tmp, instead of in my home directory, everything worked fine. In that case all the path names were identical except that of my home directory. It's very strange.
Have you tried launching LyX from a terminal? You might get some useful error messages that way.
One possibility is some weird permissions problem. Are you using SE Linux?
