applescript folder action

[squirpy]

I am attempting to set up a applescript folder action to play on any images that are added to a folder.  Here's where I'm at:

on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving someItems

       repeat with thisItem in someItems

            tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1"

                 activate

                 open thisItem

                 do action "smart sharpen" from "bottomFRAME"

            end tell

       end repeat

end adding folder items to

However, whenever an image lands in the folder, photoshop only opens it, but the action does not fire.  I am confused because this simplification of the script DOES fire the action:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1"

      do action "smart sharpen" from "bottomFRAME"

end tell

I cannot figure out why it works in the later but not the former....

See if adding delay 1 after open thisItem would help
