Well, this example file did not work for me with ps2pdf.  So I decided to
try pdflatex and that worked.

Unfortunately pdflatex does not like my real document. When I try to view
the real document I get a message "There was an arror opening this document.
The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when acrobat starts.

I cannot help you here as I don't have the file. I assume the reason is one of your strange preamble hacks. To find the reason, copy the file and remove everything except of one text line. If you then still have problems, remove the preamble stuff step by step until you found the problematic code.

Is that because I all my figures are *.eps? Is there a way of fixing this?

No, LyX takes care of it.

I don't realy like pdflatex as it generates large pdf files (my file is
already almost 6MB when generated with ps2pdf) but if that's the only way to
get long captions to wrap, I guess I'll use it.

pdflatex is much faster and the resulting PDFs are not larger for me.
You caption problem must have another reason.

 BTW the long captions did
behave properly before I started using the hyperref package.

Try to load the caption package behind hyperref in the preamble.
