Reinstalled 12.04.2 and Thumbnails are working. I imagine it cleaned up all sorts of cruft at the same time

Glad you got it sorted albeit an inconvenient method,
We clearly had the right train of thought but apparently there are more thumbnail cache's than you could shake a stick at for nautilus, why they don't just have one place for thumbnails and be done with it I don't know
Catch me on Freenode - imark
Thanks for the help Mark. It's good to know that the Ubuntu community can help with problems. The reinstall probably corrected other problems anyway

Thanks Superfreak,
That solved my problem
In my pc this is simple case. Nemo or nautilus not showing thumbnail because .thumbnails folder not own by user. Cek ~./thumbnails and ~/.cache/thumbnails.
Change ownership the .thumbnails folder can solved this case.
thanks.
I did this:
sudo rm -R /home/<user_name>/.thumbnails/*
sudo rm -R /home/.cache/thumbnails/*
Be careful whit the rm command.
I refreshed my images folder and the thumbnails appeared.
Maybe, the owner of these folders is the problem.
In Linux Mint 13 with Cinnamon 2, when I opened any containing folder with Nemo, I was bothered by having icons instead of thumbnails for recently acquired images. (Specifically, for images added to the folder after I had switched from Nautilus to Nemo.)
Inspired by IgnacioAznar's comments, I did nothing more than to simply refresh (i.e., re-load in Nemo) the files in the containing folder; and, lo and behold, Nemo had replaced the icons by thumbnails!
Thank you, Ignacio.
Edit added 10 minutes after the above comments: It turns out that an intermediate step is necessary. After further experimentation, I learned that I had to view the "icon-only" images in ImageViewer before clicking the refresh (re-load) button, in order for the refresh operation to display thumbnails of the (previously "icon-only") images.
There may be alternative intermediate steps that would work in place of the viewing in ImageViewer, but apparently something more is needed than merely the refresh operation.

Ignacio put me on the right track
He made me aware of the ~/.cache folder which also contains thumbnails. As it turns out the subfolder "Large" was owned by root and was read-only for others. Started Nautilus as root, removed the subfolders in ~/.cache/thumbnails and rebooted. Problem solved!
Tx!!
