I did look through the nbe file and there is no trace of the comments. Nessusd must have ignored the line. Thanks for your time!

I have tried adding comments to my target files using "#" and do not see any problems. Is this okay?
I don't recall that as being OK. It _turns out_ OK, because no computer
resolves with such names, but you should definitely remove the comments
before you pass the file to nessusd.
ie:
grep -v ' *#.*' targets.txt > targets_nessus.txt nessus -q localhost ...
targets_nessus.txt report.nbe rm targets_nessus.txt
