Could You Help With Thumbnail Problem

I'm in the process of building a new blog. I'm using the Thesis template with the magazine skin, Network News. I am using Dynamic Content Gallery and Thesis Open Hook.
Within WordPress my Thumbnail size is set at 66x66 it is also set at this size in the Thesis Design Options.

Here's the problem. I've uploaded a number of images via WP Media Library - Add New. I've cut and pasted the resulting url e.g http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/u...-with-baby.jpg Now my Slider Bar is working fine, so also are the images in my main page e.g happy-moms.php However the thumbnail is only showing the image holder.

Using Firebug if I hover over the thumbnail image holder I get the following code:

<img height="60" width="60" alt="Thumbnail image for happy mumst?" src="http://mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/lib/scripts/thumb.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F%2Fcelebrity-mums.jpg&w=60&h=60&zc=1&q=100" class="thumb alignleft">

As you can see the blog seems to think that the image is in the thesis image folder when it is actually in the ../wp-content/uploads folder of WP

When I hover over the larger image on the actual page then it points to the correct direction ../wp-content/uploads.
As this is a new site I have been playing around with it a bit but I have cleared the cache file in Thesis so can't thing why only the thumbnails are pointing there.

As I only have eight posts there at the moment would it be worth un-installing and re-installing Thesis?

    Check your server error logs for problems. What you're seeing is the address to the thumbnail generator, along with the parameters that Thesis passes to it.

    Here's the flow so you can maybe trace the problem: the browser requests the thumbnail. Thesis checks to see if the thumbnail exists in the cache folder. If it does, it serves it to the browser. If not, it generates the thumbnail, a copy is stored in the cache, and the thumb is served to the browser.

    If you're having troubles, it could be because of write permissions on the cache folder or the thumb.php file itself. Check the Thesis forums, you're not the first one with this issue.

    If you're referring to the thumbnails on the teasers page you should be inserting the link to your image in the field under the editing box which is entitled Post Images and Thumbnails.

    All you need to do is insert the URL of your image in the Post Images box and, if you're using the teasers layout, Thesis will automatically crunch that image into the thumbnail.
