Even I prefer Georges solution to drag the image into the composition, I would like to point out that the Image Importer patch also has the option to load an image “synchronously” vs “asynchronously”: Select the patch in the editor, hit command-2 to reveal some “hidden” options for the patch in the patch inspector. Check the “Synchronous Download” option. Don’t know if this solves your problem thought. It also could be a “sandboxing” problem, where Automator isn’t allowed to access your image file, check the console output for this.
