Just in case someone else has the same problem as I had, here is the solution for adding the prefatory sections to the table of contents.
In ERT add the following to the beginning of the section \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{ABSTRACT} The above adds the abstract (in uppercase) to my table of contents. I tracked this down in Herbert's Tips and Tricks page (except he has a typo for the addcontentsline).
