I had the same problem...good post! For the more tech savvy people (more comfortable w/ unix/linux commands), you can open terminal and type this:

find . -name "Thumbs.db" -exec rm \{} \;

That'll do the job!

Actually no, this was from me pulling my old documents and folders from my old windows machine or my network. But that would do it too, wouldn't it?
