Ahh, worked this out seems we had a distutils module (not used explictly
in freevo) in the util directory that was being imported instead of the

Bah, now this is annoying because I did fix this bug myself, but it
appears I forgot to commit it, doh!

Both fixes should be on trunk now could you see if thumbnails are
working again.
