nessus-update-plugins problem

Subject: nessus-update-plugins problem
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:19:19 +0200
Hello
nessus 2.2.6 installed from sources.
i registered nessus-update-plugins with appripriate code received in email - 
successfully:
saturn logs # nessus-fetch --register E7A4-8717-D5E5-4CE1-7491
Your activation code has been registered properly - thank you.
Now fetching the newest plugin set from plugins.nessus.org...

and it can not fetch plugins...
When i tried again:

saturn logs # nessus-update-plugins -vvv
+ for i in '$opts'
+ case $i in
+ '[' -z y ']'
+ set -x
+ for i in '$opts'
+ case $i in
+ '[' -z y ']'
+ tar=-xvf
+ '[' '!' -d /usr/lib/nessus/plugins ']'
++ pwd
+ cwd=/var/lib/nessus/logs
+ tmpdir=
+ test -z ''
+ tmpdir=
+ test -z ''
+ tmpdir=/tmp
+ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/nessus-update-plugins-31023
+ cd /tmp/nessus-update-plugins-31023
+ /usr/bin/nessus-fetch --plugins-md5
+ test -s /usr/lib/nessus/plugins/MD5
+ '[' -x /usr/bin/diff ']'
+ diff /usr/lib/nessus/plugins/MD5 all-2.0.tar.gz.md5
+ /usr/bin/nessus-fetch --plugins

md5 is downloaded OK, but plugins itself not.
saturn# ls -la /tmp/nessus-update-plugins-31023/
drwx------ 2 root root 120 kwi 19 18:10 .
drwxrwxrwt 39 root root 4744 kwi 19 18:10 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 0 kwi 19 18:10 all-2.0.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 60 kwi 19 18:10 all-2.0.tar.gz.md5

When i ptraced to that nessus-fetch process i saw that
TCP connection is established but read() returns -1 EAGAIN (Resource 
temporarily unavailable)

Durring scanning i receive in logs many warnings like:
[Wed Apr 19 18:16:30 2006][27271] user nessus : Not launching 
debian_DSA-604.nasl against xxx because the key Host/Debian/dpkg-l is missing 
(this is not an error)
[Wed Apr 19 18:16:30 2006][27271] user nessus : Not launching 
solaris9_113073.nasl against xxx because the key Host/Solaris/showrev is 
missing (this is not an error)

When i made scanning in results i received alert:
"You are running a version of Nessus which is not configured to receive;a full 
plugin feed. As a result, the security audit of the remote host 
produced;incomplete results.To obtain a complete plugin feed, you need to 
register your Nessus scanner at http://www.nessus.org/register/ then run 
nessus-update-plugins to get the full list of Nessus plugins"

What's wrong ?
How can i update/enable all plugins and make nessus works with
all that plugins ? 


Thanx
Michal
