Thanks guys, you are right (of course). I was so focused on the fact that only one instance is created, I was losing site of the forest for the trees. As long as there are no instance variables (which there are not) then everything should work as planned and only one instance is all you ever need.
I'm still curious though. When I was having the problem, it was because an uncaught exception was skipping the call to notifyAll to wake up the action which was blocked until job completion. This seemed to hose the instance of the action such that no future requests for that action responded. The rest of the app worked perfectly fine, but that action never responded until the app was restarted. Unless I'm totally off my rocker (more likely than not), other threads calling that action should still have worked. Sometimes threading can really make your brain go fuzzy.
