nessus not finding tcp port 443 even though this is definitely active

Subject: nessus not finding tcp port 443 even though this is definitely active
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 20:45:50 +0100
Nessus is not finding port 443 on a device on which I know it is open, 
but it does find 80..
Verified with nmap and that finds both 80 and 443 on that device.

Anybody any ideas to the why ?

This is the command I'm using:
 /opt/nessus/bin/nessus -c nessusrc  -T nbe -xq 127.0.0.1 1241 {userid} 
{password} {rangefile} {outputfile.nbe}

Below is the nessusrc file I'm using (all plugins are enabled, except 
for the DOS ones, so I've not included those lines).
.
In this nessusrc file I've tried these three options:

Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : = built-in
Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : = extended
Ping the remote host[entry]:TCP ping destination port(s) : = 
"21;22;23;25;53;69;79;80;110;111;113;123;135;137;138;139;143;161;256;259;264;265;389;443;445;497;500;515;548;900;953;981;993;1025;1028;1029;1080;1201;1241;1433;1454;1723;1900;1917;2809;2869;2998;3128;3389;4100;5000;5600;8000;8080;9001;9100;9495;18182;65553"

All give me the exact same results, no port 443.
