Not necessarily. This would only apply to running the batch command, not just using an action. To answer your question, Charles, it depends greatly on what's in the action. If there's any sort of layer transforming going on (or something similar), the selected layer (or if there's only one layer it would be your background layer) needs to be unlocked. The background layer is locked by default, but if you double-click the layer's icon in the layers palette, a window will pop up asking what to name it. Simply click "OK", and try your action again. I hope this helps. If this doesn't work for you, please describe exactly what the action does and I (we) will be able to help out a little more. I'd be happy to help you off-list too, if need be.
