When I ask XBMC to scan my movie content it places cover art on each folder but stores them in application data. How do I tell xbmc not to store them in the thumbnailcache but place them in the same folder as the movie?

How do I tell xbmc not to store them in the thumbnailcache but place them in the same folder as the movie?I don't think your actual question was answered yet. If I remember correctly, if you export your library (individual folders type) xbmc will put the pitures (.jpg & .tbn) in each folder along with .nfo for the file.
