My guess would be that you have the Nub added to the list of bones in your skin modifier? You shouldn't do that.

Just removing it may not work though (due to max being a bit stubborn, it keeps an internal list of the bones added to skin and for some reason doesn't actually remove bones from it when clicking remove). Only way to fix that is the completely remove the skin modifier and add a new one.

Magnus is right on the money. This error is caused by the nub being listed in your Skin modifier, which means the exporter thinks it is a bone. Delete it from the skin modifier, check that any verts weighted to it are re-weighted to another bone, and export again. If you still get the error, try what Magnus has suggested. Good luck!
