We've been using an "update-nessusrc.py" script - under the theory that unless you run the GUI client, the rc script is not updated with the most recently downloaded plugins.
The client has no way of knowing what plugins a server has until it connects to it and receives a list. With a GUI client, normally this happens when you first authenticate; you could, though, launch a scan and then authenticate and you'd have the same behaviour as with the commandline client.
If this is incorrect, great - that's one step (which isn't as smooth as one might like) we can drop!
You could see whether my own update-nessusrc script works more smoothly: http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/ It uses Perl and offers some additional functionality vis-a-vis Edgeos' Python-based script.
