I see the command line worked very well with older versions of Nessus,
however, it doesn’t seem to work as well with version 3.  I am trying to
automate my scans but the “nessuscmd” does not have many options as far
as report specification and output. 

There has never been something called "nessuscmd" in any of the
distributions of Nessus that I've used. Are you sure this isn't a
home-grown script? If so, have you accounted for the possibility that
the client has been installed in a different location than before; ie,
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus?

Right now, I have created cmd files
which contain “nessuscmd 192.168.0.1 allsafe” for the ip’s I want to
scan. 

This definitely looks like something home-grown.

There are no more _T and –q it seems.

theall@garlic> nessus -h
nessus, version 3.0.2.

Common options :
 nessus [-vnh] [-c .rcfile] [-V] [-T <format>]
Batch-mode scan:
 nessus -q [-pPS] <host> <port> <user> <pass> <targets-file> <result-file>
Report conversion :
 nessus -i in.[nsr|nbe] -o out.[xml|nsr|nbe|html|txt]

They're still there.
