Hi Martin,

you can use r.support, which is implemented in CVS again since a couple of 
weeks:  

### r.support test.rgb
Edit header for [test.rgb]? (y/n) [n]
Update the statistics (histogram, range) for [test.rgb]? (y/n) [n]
Edit the category file for [test.rgb]? (y/n) [n]
Create/Update the color table for [test.rgb]? (y/n) [n]
Edit the history file for [test.rgb]? (y/n) [n]

The null file for [test.rgb] may indicate that some cells contain
no data. If the null file for [test.rgb] doesn't exist, zero cells in
it are treated by GRASS application programs as no data.

Do you want to create/reset the null file for [test.rgb] so that null cell 
values are considered valid data? (y/n) [n]

Do you want to delete the null file for [test.rgb]
(all zero cells will then be considered no data)? (y/n) [n]
