Have you tried running the scans with the GUI? If so, do you
observe the same behaviour?

What do you see towards the end of the logs? Does nessusd
report that the test is complete?

Also, is it possible there's a problem with one or more of
your target specifications around when the scan stops?

If you were using NessusWX, this might be the reason, but
you're not. Ie, see

The next time you run the scan, consider adding a
"--verbose" option to see what's going on from the client's
point of view.
