Hello,
I tried the /tmp && mv solution and it works. I run the thumbnail 
service with tomcat, in a Java application so I will use a Java way to 
get the TMP folder, which defaults to /usr/share/tomcat7/temp/. I can 
change the tomcat tmp folder to /tmp, but I want to understand why this 
happens. Why does evince generate a thumbnail in /tmp but not in 
/usr/share/tomcat7/temp/.

I even ran the thumbnail generator with root and it still does not 
generate anything in /usr/share/tomcat7/temp/.

I'll try to submit a bug. Not sure if a pull request also :D

Thank you,
Andrei Petcu
