Yihui is probably right that this is a question about Lyx, not R, but 
one other thing you can try is to check the encoding of the file you're 
working with.  Are you sure it is UTF-8?  Your message encoding is 
"iso-8859-1", a pretty common encoding to use on Windows, it is not 
UTF-8.  I don't know how to tell Lyx you are using that, but if you can 
figure that out, I'd try it.
