As the preamble is "free LaTeX source" (like ERT), lyx is not aware of
the \bibliography call there.

Where are your .bib files?

LyX uses a temporary directory. This might be the cause. You can try to
disable the temporary directory (I don't know how exactly but guess
that giving an empty path for the TempDir in Tools>settings helps).

I would try to put (or link) the *.bib files into a directory in the
BIBINPUTS path, so it is found by LaTeX/BibTeX from everywhere.

.. and substituting just file names for absolute paths.
