if you don't report the error it's going to be very hard to know why
gtk-update-icon-cache is not working.

if the error is in the theme, then I'm very sorry but it's a buggy theme
and it should not be used.

if it's a bug in gtk-update-icon-cache then you have to report it on
GNOME's bugzilla ("gtk+" product) so that it'll be fixed in the next
release.

in both cases, if the cache is not available then you'll have to load
the images from the disk, and that can be slow. it's something you'll
have to live with: the icon theme cache was created exactly to speed up
loading.
