I usually use this code to start workflow with JavaScript:

var wfdef = workflow.getDefinitionByName("jbpm$processid");
if (wfdef)
{
   var wfparams = new Array();
   wfparams["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "";
   wfparams["bpm:assignee"] = "admin";
   var wfpackage = workflow.createPackage();
   for each (var fnode in folder.children)
      wfpackage.addNode(fnode);
   var wfpath = wfdef.startWorkflow(wfpackage, wfparams);
   var tasks = wfpath.getTasks();
   for each (task in tasks)
      task.endTask(null);
