Thank you for the quick response, Renaud.
Well, I did the ³nessus-mkcert² and still had a new problem. Plus, I thought
I had downloaded the right version. So, to verify I re-did the download and
did an uninstall to verify it.

Then ran the installer, started Nessus Server Manager, entered new
registration code, updated plugins, & started the Nessus Server.

Then I connect with the Nessus Client via localhost, start a scan for a
machine on my local subnet and then get ³Connection Closed. The remote
server abruptly closed the connection.²

I verified that LittleSnitch is disabled, and that the Apple Firewall is set
to ³Set Access for specific services and applications.²
So, any other suggestions?

You need to install Nessus 3.0.6.1 on Leopard. Apparently you
installed 3.0.6.
Alternatively, you can type, in command-line :
# /Library/Nessus/run/sbin/nessus-mkcert -q
and that will solve the problem.
