I have sometimes had trouble with the index not displaying the first 
time I export a file. If I change something trivial (add a space at the 
end of a paragraph, say) and re-export, then it appears.

One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and 
run everything manually. Or just launch LyX from a terminal, and watch 
the output when you export. Either should give you more information.
