To guess the encoding of something (by the very nature of an encoding this is heuristics), the command "file" (that uses libmagic by Rullgard/Zoulas) is often used. So run "file lit.bib" and "file yourfile.lyx" to see if the encoding is the same in both files and if it is the same as in your locale. To change the encoding, use "recode" or "iconv" (warning: at least recode acts in-place, so perhaps make a backup first).
