So, I still can't figure out why two port scans are running, nor am I

synscan.nes is the built-in Nessus scanner, and that nmap_tcp_connect.nes
is a connect() scan through Nmap?  Any others suggestions or ideas on how I
can get this to work properly?


You are correct that synscan.nes is the Nessus (not nmap) TCP SYN scanner. The nmap scanner is called nmap_wrapper.nes. Please email me your full .nessusrc file off-list and I will dig into it a bit more to see why it is launching multiple port scanners.
