cause it gives me false positives.


How can a portscanner give false positives?? 


So the question is how to enable Nmap as port scanner in case of
yours proposed list of hosts ("single host, IP, subnet, or comma
seperated list") with commandline nessus. 


I'm not sure I understood your question... If you want to use Nmap
only for some hosts, you can pre-scan them, feed the result into
Nessus and set 'Do not scan targets not in the file' in the nmap.nasl
plugin "prefs". However, there is no way to disable nessus_tcp_scanner
on some specific hosts currently.
