The problem is that there is no object in Acrobat 5's dictionary called
"Batch Sequence." And by "Batch Sequence," I'm assuming you mean the items
accessible through the "Batch Processing" submenu of the File menu? These
are menu items and can be called like so:

tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
-- usually easier to call submenus by number.
-- here's why...
get name of menu item 5 of menu "Batch" --> "AVSequenceMenuItemAtom-2"
-- execute menu item "AVSequenceMenuItemAtom-2" of menu "Batch"
get title of menu item 5 of menu "Batch" --> "Open All"
-- execute (every menu item of menu "Batch" whose title is "Open All")
-- just use the submenu number...
execute menu item 5 of menu "Batch"
end tell

HTH.
