 My boss wants my output not to include all the security notes.  Is 
there way to do a command line scan from a Linux box that would not 
include this?

A couple of approaches come to mind:

- Add your scan results into a database and generate reports from that. 
Tenable's Security Center 3 product will let you do that. Third-party 
projects such as Inprotect and NessQuick will too, to varying degress of 
success.

- Output results as NBE, grep out lines with "Security Note" in field 6, 
and then use the commandline client to convert from NBE to some other 
type. Simple and sweet.

- Use something like the update-nessusrc script I personally wrote (so 
it's not a Tenable product) to enable / disable plugins based on risk 
factor (eg, 'update-nessusrc -r "(Critical|High|Medium)"').
