Batch Processing and Save for Web & Devices

I have the following question. I have made an action which resizes, does some color correction, sharpens the image and then saves it using 'Save for Web & Devices'. Then I try to use that action using the Batch processing feature in Photoshop. I set the 'Source' to a specific folder where all my source images are (e.g. C:\Input\). I set the 'Destination' to a specific folder too (e.g. C:\Output\). I make sure that the 'Override Action "Save As" Commands' checkbox is unticked, so that I can set some specific File Naming options (basically, I add the string "_small" between the original file name and the extension). When I'm ready and hit the 'OK' button to process all my images, suddenly the 'JPEG Options' dialog box opens after the first image has been processed. That's not what I wanted! When I press 'OK', the next image is processed and the 'JPEG Options' dialog box pops up again! So I have to manually hit 'OK' for 100+ times (I have 100+ images to process), while the Batch function ought to be automatic, not manual. And moreover, I don't want to save my images using the 'JPEG Options' dialog box and get big file sizes. That's why I chose 'Save for Web & Devices' in the first place ;).

Does someone know how to get the 'Save for Web & Devices' option to work properly in combination with the Batch processing feature?
