Getting custom folder views

Question

I have many folders of jpegs and have been trying to make an automator action that will make all the folders in icon view, with icon preview at 80x80, and arranged by name. I've made it as an application and workflow but when I try it with a folder I usually get an error message:
Applescript error:
Finder got an error: Can't set current view of container window of every folder of entire contents of alias "..." to icon view. (-10006)
Seems like it should be an easy thing to do but I don't know why I'm having problems with this.

<pre class=COMMAND>

end tell

</pre>
