Log error when thumbnail directory could not be created.

This is a band-aid approach to bug #418325, but not enough. IMO
thumbnails should still be cached (and shown) even when the on-disk
cache is unusable. Unfortunately, the code is currently not built around
the assumption that writing to disk may not be possible.
