"The command “Play” is not currently available." - an action within an action

I'm creating an action (which plays 4 different actions) to batch my sessions.

I can play all 4 of these individual actions separately, but when I record the "batchable" action with all 4 of these, I get the error message "The command 'Play' is not currently available."

-I'm starting on a background layer.

-The action that won't "play" is coming from a Set of actions that hasn't been removed or renamed.

Again, I can play this action and it works on it's own, but once loaded in with the other 3, the action will not play.

The strange part is I've created this action on my other computer and it works just fine. I've even tried to transport the action from the other computer to this one.
HELP!!

Thanks!!

4 years too late, but you probably renamed the folder, the one in photoshop itself, the actions were stored in

Post a screenshot of the action panel with the action steps expanded with the panel wide enough to view all action steps. Or upload the saved action set .atn file to a file sharing service.
