To help determine if Nikto is even running against the target, you can edit
Nikto's config.txt and enable the CLIOPTS setting and have it dump all output
to a file. When it runs, anything being printed by Nikto will also be saved to
this file. For example:
CLIOPTS=-o /tmp/output.txt
This may help debug where exactly the problem is (calling nikto, nikto
running,
output going back to nessus, etc.).

Quoting Jared Breland <list-nessus@legroom.net>:
For some reason, I cannot get the nikto plugin to run properly and give me
output. I can manually run 'nikto.pl -host xxx' from the command line, and
it works perfectly. However, when running a nessus scan of that same host,
the nikto plugin does run (according to the log file), but it exists after
something like .020 seconds, and never gives me any output. Is anyone else
having problems with this?
I'm using the GUI, have the Nikto checked under CGI plugins, and have force
full (generic) scan checked under preferences. I've tried with/without that
option checked, tried scanning hostname and IP, and tried using built-in TCP
scanner and nmap. However, it always acts the same.
Any ideas what the problem is? Can anyone even suggest some way to get more
information about why it's failing?
Thanks.
