Try the following...

Prep (important: open files in THIS order):
* Open logo-frame file
* Make FRAME layer active ("eyeball on," layer highlighted)

* Open any representative pic to which you want to apply frame, logo

Record a new Action, assign a meaningful name
* Click on logo-frame file
* Click on logo layer
* Edit > Copy
* Click on target file
* Edit > Paste (result: logo layer created)

* Click on logo-frame file
* Click on FRAME layer
* Edit > Copy
* Click on target file
* Edit > Paste (result: frame layer created)
* Layer > Flatten image

* File > Save as... (.jpg) ...do not change file name
...save on Desktop or ANY folder. Makes no difference at this point
...specify .jpg compression value (your call)
...OK to save file and close dialog
* File > Close STOP recording (logo-frame file remains open)

Prep for Batch Processing:
* Create and populate a SOURCE folder with images to be processed
* Create a DESTINATION folder where processed images will be saved
* Be sure logo-frame file is open

Batch processing: File > Automate > Batch
* Action: Specify action just recorded

* Source: Folder, specify \Source

* Destination: Folder, specify \Destination ...important: (x) Override action 'Save as' commands
[it's a long story; trust me on this one]

Click OK and away you should go.

Hope this gets you over the hump. Good luck on your project.
