When you play the action you must have only 1 layer, so delete the background layer; you can add it when the action ends. reply
here is my test file, where you can download the
photoshop file, the scripts runs without an error

From what I can see from your PSD file, the effect is similar to my preview except the fact that the stitch leather effect is outside and not inside the leather text. reply

You can also use a large size text and resize it after the action ends. But after resizing you have to adjust especially the Pattern Overlay to be 100% again.
I'm using Photoshop CS6 and after a couple of misfires I discovered that I have to create the Smart Object manually. If I then start the Action after that step it works beautifully.
