Not sure myth does the "touch" first, would be nice if it did. I had a similar problem a while back. And the solution was to try to delete it. Check the mythbackend.log file to get the full name of the missing nuv file and then manually do a touch of that file name, creating an empty file. Then go back and do the delete.
