Batch Processing problem with Directories

Question

Hi All!
I am having a problem recording an action for Batch Resizing/Optimizing a large number of Photos.
What I want is to resize about a 1000+ photos, all optimized, but there is a catch!
they are all in separate directories(also in the hundreds!), and as I am delivering them to separate Clients, I would need to preserve the same directory structure after resizing/optimizing, IE its laid out like this:
John's Folder - 50 Photos
Jane's Folder - 120 Photos
Joe's Folder - 75 Photos
David's Folder - 50 Photos
IE: I cant choose "Save Optimized" and 'include sub directories' and then have the Action output them into a Common directory as that would obviously loose the directory structure, and i would have no way of tracking which photo belonged to whom.
(as Image names are all 'Camera' filenames, ie 013121012.jpg, so I cant use that to identify the different Photo-sets as most of the photos were taken on the same day.)
What I came up with so far was to:
Duplicate all files and the Directory structure as it is, and try to write an action that after processing would just 'Save' and Overwrite files as they are. (IE Resize/Optimize, then save/overwrite all photos and then choose 'Include all Subfolders )
Problem is I cant 'Save Optimized' and overwrite the original file! I couldn't even find a way to set 'Compression settings' for Jpg when I am using the 'SAVE' dialog(that would automatically overwrite the original files). The Jpeg Compression only pops up with 'Save As', but then again that is not useful for overwriting the same file.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
PS: I am using Photoshop CS3.

The JSP specification doesn't define the mapping used by a JSP
engine to generate a Java package.className from a given
request.
Oracle JSP takes a simple approach (for a variety of reasons).
Rather then generating a munged/random name, Oracle JSP uses the
full path information in the request. The path information
generates the package name while the classname comes from the
target. As virtual paths within a host are unique this works.
Unfortunately, you have encountered the one limitation of this
approach, namely VP names can contain names that are invalid Java
package or classnames. Names that are all numbers is one case.
Java reserved words is another. Currently, the only way to avoid
this is to change the VP you use to access the JSP so its path
name and target only includes valid Java (package/class) names.
