Had this same problem as I'm sure everyone else does.  I manually update
plugins with nessus-update-plugins and find that after doing so you have
to rerun the rebuild (nessusd -R) before restarting.  Might be the case
after you restart nessus with auto-update enabled??  Anyway, the forums
at discussions.nessus.org are the best place for help.
