Odd, I use Nero 7 and have absolutely no issues with it....Actually that catalog process never even runs on mine(though that may be because I only let Nero run when I need to use it[ie. it is not in the background running]).

You could also try killing the NMIndexStoreSvr process after you start up every-time (a bit of hassle but it might work).
