Thanks Renaud that's exactly what I was looking for. :)

After Dan's reply (but before I saw yours), I used the
Spotlight-enhanced 'mdfind' command (much faster than a standard Unix
'find'), I found the familiar tool nessus-adduser was placed in:
/Library/Nessus/i386/sbin/nessus-adduser, along with the other tools
like nessus-rmuser and such. For PowerPC users it's
/Library/Nessus/ppc/sbin/*. However I like how /Library/Nessus/run/ is
setup to one of these directories automatically for ease-of-use.
Neither are normally in my $PATH.

Someone should update the installation manual to include OS X specifics. :)

Thanks guys,

Kelly
