Discrepancies regarding feeding nmap data to Nessus 3.2 beta (3.1.4)

Regards,

We run Nessus 3.2 beta (3.1.4) on Linux. To avoid FW saturation we are 
feeding nmap results to Nessus. This works fine, except for some 
discrepancies regarding number of hosts scanned and the number of hosts 
appearing in the report. The details are as follows:

In nessusd.messages, the log entry "Targets:" correctly reports X number 
of hosts. These X targets are all read from a file. When the scan 
finishes, I can find Y "dead" hosts in the log. However, the report 
generated lists Z hosts as "alive and responding", and Z < X-Y. How can 
this be ?
