1. Just for clarification: is the workflow or the workflow 
action/transition not found?
2. If it's not a typo in the code above: Trying to publish a published 
item usually doesn't
work because there is no such transition from the published to the 
published state.
So make sure that you test on a state from where the 'publish' 
transition exists.
