If I dissect what you are putting together here what I see is you are
asking find to locate all normal files whose **accessed time** is
greater than 30 days.

Is it possible than they have all been accessed within the last 30 days?
I did a man find, and thunked back a few hours. Ooops. I had looked at
that directory with Nautilus. Even though only some of the files showed
in the viewing window, they were all touched.

So to start I did a -mtime +30 and took the directory down to ~1700
files. Now I will set up a cron with the -atime +30 and be good, and not
look into the directory with Nautilus.

Try This variation I find removes them all. The first time I did I was
surprised how many gig I was wasting.

#!/bin/sh
find ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/ -type f -name * -exec
rm {} \;
find ~/.thumbnails/normal/ -type f -name * -exec rm {} \;
find ~/.thumbnails/large/ -type f -name *-exec rm {} \;


Sorry about the word wrap.
