Ok, for the record in case this happens to anyone else, I have deleted
the plugins directory, re-created it and re-run nessus-update-plugins
which has repopulatd it. Restarting nessus now gives no problems..
Re-running the scan of the host now shows everything normally as it
did before and I can get back to tweaking my original server that I
wanted to test.

I just tried to use it to scan the one thing I wanted to in the first
place but the results have false positives that are wildly off for ssh
on my linux box for example. It is complaining about accounts that I
know don't exist and having just checked again definitely aren't in
/etc/passwd. This didn't happen the last time I scanned before
upgrading. For example root is one of the false positives but I don't
allow root password logins.
Seems my installation is broken.
Should I just try scrapping eveything and starting again?
