To help anyone with similar problems, I might just answere my own question. The problem was simple, I was executing the action and sending the whole folder as a reference instead of individual files which is expected (i.e it exptects reference of TYPE_CONTENT). So this is what I did to do the transform.


private void doTransformation(Action action, NodeRef folderRef, String MIME) 
{
   Iterator<ChildAssociationRef> it = nodeService.getChildAssocs(folderRef).iterator();
      
   while(it.hasNext())
   {
      ChildAssociationRef cref = (ChildAssociationRef)it.next();
      ContentData content = (ContentData)nodeService.getProperty(cref.getChildRef(), ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT);

      if(content.getMimetype().equals(MIME))
      {      
         this.transformAction.execute(action, cref.getChildRef());
      }
   }
   
}

The action is set up like in the previous post holding the destination folder and other params.
