Creating a batch process action

I need to add a logo onto several jpg images and then re-save them as jpg's.

I start the action recording, then open the image, then opening the psd with the logo, I then duplicate the logo layer onto the jpg file. I then move it into place and then save the jpg. After this I stop the action from recording.

Now when I go to run it in batch mode, at the point it should duplicate the layer from teh psd file onto the jpg, it says cannot open "new document"

Does anybody know a way I can create an action and get the image onto the jpgs and avoid thsi error?

thanks

Don't make copying the image part of the action.

Copy the image...then run the action.
