Very difficult to comment without knowing exact details of your program. But
it seems you need to enable ThumbsCache and manually update it when you
modify timestamps of the files. Modify your script/program to mark the
Thumbs.db to be "deleted" in the folder if a picture is changed in this
manner. After the script is finished doing its work over all pictures, it
can delete the cache. I am assuming that the deleting the cache is safe
enough operation.

Otherwise... post your script/source code for review.
