Got it working now.
Strange thing is, it will not exit the script when the thumb and attachment have been cached before?
Is there a better hook for this purpose than attachment_start?

It is very strange. On my test installation, it would work with 2 pictures, it would not work with another and it would show the path to the other instead of anything else.

I imagine this is a consequence of how your browser handles files. attachment.php sends a series of browser headers, including some which allow the browser to cache the file for a year. Once those headers have been sent, you no longer have control over file delivery because it is being picked up locally and not retransmitted.
