Bug description
Nemo will give this message "A problem has been detected with your thumbnail cache. Fixing it will require administrative privileges."
I know that this is an old bug. Deleting .cache/thumbnails will work the first time but the problem will come back when Nemo is closed and reopened.
Steps to reproduce
- Mint 21 or Mint 21.1
- User with new NFS home directory
- Open Nemo, place images in Pictures directory. Thumbnails will generate.
- Close Nemo
- Open Nemo. Message will be "A problem has been detected with your thumbnail cache. Fixing it will require administrative privileges.
Expected behavior
Thumbnails generations should work with NFS home directory.
Additional information
None of the old fix work.

Deleting .cache is a temporary fix. The problem does not happen if the user home is on a local drive and not on a NFS server. User have full RW access on home.
The problem is not present on Mint 20.1.
