You actually have a couple of ways for this to be done:

1 - I would just use the default action type ->Update directory with Folder Browse (default). That way you don't have to even configure anything. this is the best way to configure the action

2 - if you want to just fix what you have... you need to remove the quotation marks around the [#2]

Best practice to debug and see what is going on with your app?

Go to View->Interface Designer
Click on Test View (icon is under the wrench and looks like a magic wand)
enter a directory
click on Open Debug button
A copy of the workflow will open called Debug Workflow# (# being some number)
Look at the directory tool and you can see there how your app changed the value (or if it did and how it did)

@joeyikeeli ,

My guess is that the action tool is not configured properly. I'd show us a screenshot of that or create a small workflow with these three tools and send.
