Matt,
You need the FrontEnd Token, "EvaluateNotebook":
nbe =
Notebook[{Cell["2+3", "Input"] },
WindowTitle -> "temp"
];
nbo = NotebookPut[nbe];
FrontEndExecute[{FrontEndToken[nbo,"EvaluateNotebook"]}]
For more on FrontEnd tokens see "The Beginner's Guide to Mathematica Version
4, by Jerry Glynn and Theodore Gray.
