I just figured it out. I only get this error when running from the IDE but once it's compiled it seems to work ok. I did think it used to work from the IDE but can't be sure. It's …

yes, I think I also changed the permission settings when it happened.

It should still rebuild the thumbnails when browsing to that folder though. Depending on the network share settings. Thumbnails work fine on my syncs with that filter
