Thumbnails missing from DNG files in Finder

I have been converting Canon CR2 files to DNG files for archiving using Adobe DNG Converter 8.1. Conversion completed without issue and the files located in the appropriate folder on an external hard drive. Checking the folder I found the DNG files showing with no thumbnails and showing Dimensions 0x0 in Finder window. The last time I used DNG Converter was some 18 months ago and the conversions on CR2 files from the same camera converted to DNG files with thumbnails and Dimensions showing. The source CR2 files show correctly in Finder.

There have been updates to OS X 10.8, also to Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe DNG Converter since I last did such archiving. I have searched on Adobe website but have found no reference to this issue and googling has not helped. Has anyone had a similar experience and possibly found the answer?

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Same here. Latest updates to Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, OSX 10.9. I could view .DNGs no problem before Mavericks. I can preview Canon Raw files no problem in the finder or with quick look. Not with Mavericks. And the file sizes are listed as 0x0, which is really reassuring.

My guess is botched Apple Mavericks programming. Or yet another Apple/Adobe spat where the software team managers' haven't had their diapers changed in a bit and are squabbling over whose toys are whose.

And, the end users get jacked. Again.
