Odd behaviour with automator workflow

[scrabble]

Hi there, i have a rather simple setup which causes a strange behaviour. It's two part, first a hazel rule, second an automator workflow:

Hazel-Rule
======
If all conditions are met:
- kind is archive
- name is xyz
- modified is not in the last two minutes
then
- run automator workflow

Automator workflow
=============
- New mail message (with some text)
- Get specified finder items (points to the xyz-archive)
- Add attachments to front message

It's the last step I can't cope with: Running the whole workflow as described I have two attachments of the xyz-archive in my mail. I have modified the automator workflow by omitting the last step and the whole workflow runs fine. Obviously omitting "add attachments to front message" sould make no sense.

So my question: why doesn't act the complete workflow (with the original automator workflow) as expected. And why does the incomplete automator workflow make sense here?

You shouldn't be asking Finder for items. The file being processed is passed in to the workflow so just make sure the first item in the workflow takes a file as input.
