You likely specified a specific folder in the action so when you ran it again, the first batch were written over.
A work-around is to have a holding folder where files which are processed are placed. Once the action is complete, move them out of the hold folder to their new, permanent location.
Bummer on the lost files. Lea I already had some problems with batching on PS 7. One action I made took the jpg images from a digital camera, changed the ppi and saved and named them as PSD file. Second time I this action it replaced all the previous processed pictures by using the same file name starting at 1 again. CS2 has the advantage of bulk processing RAW files. You can open a folder, select all the raw images in it and open them at once in the raw converter. You then select images in the converter, set the settings and you can process them all and save them as PSD or JPG or TIFF. This is all done in the background while you work on other images in a new instance of Bridge. You can do this to multiple folders at once. You do all the images and leave them to process while working on other stuff in Photoshop or just go out and come back in a while. Herschel
