Yes, nmap (version 4.01) has scanned the remote host and wrote the file

Ex:  nmap -v -sS -oG output.txt <host IP>

Nessus does not appear to use this file with the nmap plugin activated. 
Has anyone had success importing a nmap (-oG) file into Nessus?


I just tried this and found it to work fine -- nmap 4.01, nessus 3.0.2,
and NessusClient 1.0.0.RC4. And checking "Do not scan targets not in the
file" caused Nessus to avoid scanning hosts not in the nmap output file.

You may want to check your logs and make sure nessusd is loading the
nmap.nasl plugin and launching it during your scan.

Is there an issue with the format of the nmap output file? And what
exactly do you mean by "Nessus does not appear to use this file"? In
other words, what makes you think there's an issue?
