if [ "$fname" != "thumb.db" ]; then

there is an command called rename or sometimes rename.ul in ubuntu.
if its not available, try installing.
say u have files file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg thumbs.db in a folder, you can rename using the command

rename file file_bb1 *.jpg

If you can show the preview of ls command in the dir and what you exactly expect, can help better.

did you mean to say your problem resolved?
