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 ?

What do you see in the logs regarding the missing hosts?

One possibility is that there is a rule preventing you from scanning them.

Another is that Nessus did not find any open ports in the port range you 
specified for those hosts.
