Nessus-3.0.3 has stopped giving any detail

Hi there

I'm running Nessus-3.03 under CentOS4 (and also FC5) and I cannot get a
scan to give any detail in the results any more.

e.g. Scanning an IP with an Apache Webserver now just returns "A web
server was found" instead of all the detail about suspected version
number, webapps found/etc. Similarly scanning a Qmail server used to say
it found Qmail - now it says "A smtp server was found" :-( Actually it
does return the banner check - but no guessing that it's Qmail (i.e.
smtpscan.nasl doesn't seem to be working, even though I see it loaded,
launched and finished in the logs)

I'm note sure what has changed. I do know I've now done this from two
independent installs of Nessus-3.03 server, with similar results. I also
reset the client by trashing $HOME/.nessus* before starting
NessusClient, enabled all plugins, disabled safety, etc. But stuff it
used to routinely return is just plain missing now.

However, the installs have "me" in common - so it's not impossible I've
screwed something up ;-)

Any ideas where to start looking for what's going wrong?

Thanks!
