By default, Nessus 3.x automatically downloads plugin updates so unless 
you've disabled this ("auto_update = no" in nessusd.conf), there's no 
need really to run nessus-fetch manually.

Before updating plugins, Nessus will first grab the MD5 checksum for the 
plugins tarball and compare that to what you have locally. Only if 
there's a difference will Nessus then try to update the plugins.

That said, perhaps there's just nothing to update - 8/26 was a Saturday, 
and sometimes we have to rest. :-) Are you seeing any errors when you 
try to do an update? If not, wait a day or two as I'm sure there will 
something published today.
