Not sure what your problem is, but the script below makes thumbnails for me:

-------------------------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl

# This script generates a file with ImageMagick thumbnails
# from the jpeg files in the current directory.
# Specify the filename on <STDIN>

print "filename = ";
$name = <STDIN>;
chomp($name);

if ( $name ) {
        system("convert 'vid:*.jpg' $name.vid");
} else {
        print "Usage: makethumbs\n";
        exit;
}
