We tried to use Nessus 3, comparing it with the output from Nessus 2.
For some reason, version 3 was not detecting some of the vulnerabilities
I know we had -- plugins 17985, detecting a vulnerability on Communigate
Stalker, and 14687, detecting a psyBNC server. We tried to diagnose the
problem, but we simply cannot tell if these are the only plugins having
issues.

Make sure your port scanner(s) are configured correctly in Nessus 3. The
Communigate plugin you mention simply does a banner check, which is
fairly basic. And the psyBNC server plugin fires if the service was
merely detected by find_service.nes.
