Photoshop Batch Action Save for Web and Devices

Question

I created an Action in Photoshop CS4. It's something like this:

1. Open Document
2. Change Canvas Size
3. Save for Web & Devices
4. Close Document

Now, the "Save for Web & Devices" does all nice stuff, including saving it with a specific name to a specific folder. Somehow, when I try to Batch this Action, I'm not able to tell Photoshop NOT to use the name (and probably location) as defined in the "Save for Web & Devices". As a result, Photoshop keeps on overwriting the output previous files in the batch, leaving me with only the transformed rendition of the last file in the batch.

I tried to select the 'override Save As' checkbox in the batch, but that doesn't seem to influence the behavior of the Save for Web & Devices part of the Action.

Can anyone help me?

Using photoshop batch from bridge does maintain the filename providing you have not changed the original filename whilst setting up the "save for web" action in Photoshop.
