Plugin Dependency Not Working...

Situation:  I ran a full scan on my servers for the 3 latest
vulnerabilities that came out this week.  Everything works and looks
fine.  Today when I re-ran the exact same scans/sessions, the scans are
not detecting any holes/warnings.  I cross-checked some systems and the
system shows that the patch has not been applied, but Nessus doesn't
even recognize it.

 

Troubleshooting:  Verified hosts, login configurations, plugins,
descriptions.  Also created a brand new session for one server for one
specific plugin to look for that I know has not been applied to that
system, and nothing.  No results.

I have also tried re-running the previous month's vulnerabilities on
systems that were not patched for last month for business reasons, and
those are coming up blank as well.  It is detecting open port and
informational warnings fine and is reporting those.

 

Possible Causes?: Well Microsoft did announce a minor revision in their
MS07-004 today, but that was just stating that a restart was not
required to apply this patch.

 

Any ideas on why Nessus is not detecting the vulnerabilities anymore?
