Hugin stores the recently used files in .hugin, not in recently-used.xbel. This message is printed by GTKs file select dialog. You will see the same message when using another GTK program (e.g. leafpad) and run it with an empty home dir. So this needs to be fixed in GTK. There is nothing from Hugin side which can be done for this error message.
