How do I go about specifying the port range to scan, using
nessus at the command line.  

You can't do this from the commandline, only by editing the
client config file or through the GUI.

It already says port_range =
1-65535 in my .nessusrc file as well as in the
nessusd.config file.

As long as you're using a fairly recent version of Nessus,
port_range will be used by all of the scanners *except* for
"Ping the remot host" (#10180). For that, the port range is
controlled by the option "TCP ping destination port(s)" in
the plugin preferences.
