Functions like escapeshellcmd, shell_exec etc are disabled in the server for security reasons. These are done because these can be exploited for serious security breaches. You will have to make necessary changes in your script to avoid these commands.
Is there some work-around available? Or am I doomed to no thumbnails in my s9y?
There isn't a real work around to get imagemagick to work without the administrator removing that restriction...
But you could try setting "Use ImageMagick" to "no" under the "Image Conversion Settings" (in the configuration menu). Serendipity will then try to use the gd extensions in php. They are fairly common extensions, so there is a good chance your provider will have then enabled, and it would allow you to use thumbnails of images.
