Thanks, Everyone: Actually, we are placing the thumbnails in the Thumbnail bundle. So, we create a thumbnail (then as Admin) add it to the Thumbnail bundle of an item, and it works fine. But overnight our filter media runs and it generates a thumbnail from the PDF of the item, so the next morning the item has 2 bitstreams in the Thumbnail bundle: the jpg we added and the one generated by filter-media from the PDF, and that generated thumbnail seems to have precedence over our thumbnail. It doesn't matter if I move the thumbnail order. However, I can delete the auto-generated thumbnail, and our thumbnail appears (only to be replaced, again, overnight by the filter-media).
I ma going to try Anuchit's fix of renaming our thumbnail to the name that is used by the auto-generated thumbnail to see if that fixes the problem. I'll know in the morning.
