"c:/usr/home/.emacs-thumb/C:!store!test!ycbcr-cat.tif"
which is not a valid name (the ":"). In fact, that was the error that
took me down this path.
So you need either to substitute several chars, maybe with a regexp
function (possibly filesystem-dependant), or add
`subst-char-in-string' layers. And "store!test", for example, is a
perfectly valid file or directory name, so ambiguity still exists.
Much, much easier to just use md5().

I can add it just fine, but the original thumbs code doesn't do it. It
preserves the filename's extension. Should be irrelevant anyway.
