Nautilus use gam_server to identify when a new file is created on
hard-disk, and automatically updates the thumbnail.

$ ps -A|grep gam

Alternatively , you can remove all thumbnails

$ rm -rf ~/.thumbnails


I vaguely remember, someone did mention on planet gnome ( i believe )
about a utility to remove only invalid thumbnails . Check on
gnomefiles.org , it might help , though not sure.
