OK, here is a routine I wrote before v8 came out, perhaps it will help:

(* Pre Mathematica v8 routine to evaluate notebooks in companion directory \
(likely equivaent to v8's NotebookEvaluate *)
ClearAll[evaluateNB];
evaluateNB[name_String, debug_Symbol: True] := Module[{path, nb},
   path = FileNameJoin[{NotebookDirectory[], name}];
   If[debug, Print["evaluating Notebook: ", path]];
   nb = NotebookOpen[path];
   If[True,(* pre Mathematica v8:
    evaluation was queued for later *)
    SelectionMove[nb, All, Notebook];
    SelectionEvaluate[nb];
    ];
   If[False,(* post Mathematica v8:
    immediate evaluation *)
    NotebookEvaluate[nb]
    ];
   NotebookClose[nb];
   ];
