If it works locally with a non root account, it’s supposed to 
work in Nessus with the same account because it’s the same command.


Javi already suggested a reason why this might not always be true. To
remove Nessus from the picture, try running the following command as
root on the nessusd host:

  ssh -i path/to/ssh/private/key nessus@target "dpkg -l"

[Adjust the filename for the private key / username / hostname as
appropriate.] What sort of output do you see? If that doesn't help, add
the "-v" option to ssh to get some debugging output.
