Nmap is a port scanner so it just reports opened ports.

Quick question before investigating the problem, What is your version  
of the following scripts ?

smb_nt_ms04-040.nasl
smb_nt_ms04-013.nasl
smb_hotfixes.nasl

scripts are located in /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins and the version  
number is in the description part :

 script_version("$Revision: 1.XX $");


Thanks,

Nicolas
