Hey Buddy!
Not sure if somebody else has answered this because I'm not to the end of 
reading my emails.
I always forget about automater but need to do more with it.  It runs really 
slowly on my computer since snowleopard.  Not sure why.

The way I add actions is:
when you get your workflow or whatever open, there is a part of the window that 
says 
actions description split view split group

and I have to interact 3 times with that--I believe its three.  Then the 
library table pops open and I interact with that, arrow down to the main set of 
actions I want, stop interacting and go right to the second table which will 
list all the actions available for that part of the library.  Then go to the 
one you want and press enter.  Then stop interacting as much as you can and go 
left and you'll find your workflow with the added action there.
I'm a terrible automater user but the only reason I knew this was that I've 
been screwing with it all afternoon--spent most of that time waiting for it to 
stop saying Automater busy!
Still love my mac though.
