On the 404, it just seems that my scans have been triggering this plugin a lot 
lately. When I go to validate, the server does usually have a 404 page.

Maybe I'm missing something in my XSS testing. Below is a list of triggered 
plugins:

Port 8080

No 404 Check - ID 10386
Pod.Board Forum_Details.PHP Cross Site Scripting - 11760
P-Synch multiple issues - 11694

The server does not have XSS issues, so that's why I was questioning 
these plugins. 

It would be useful then to see a packet capture of running those
 plugins 
against the affected port(s). Each of those plugins apparently saw the 
Javascript they sent in response packets.

Especially since this scan generated about 10 different
vulnerabilities with about 10 different apps. 

What vulnerabilities beyond the three you already mentioned?

Side note * No 404 Check was triggered but
false positive... I find this a lot.

Would you explain or provide an example? If it's really an issue, I'd 
like to try to correct it.

Another point I should mention that my be throwing Nessus a loop... 
these vulnerabilities are not on port 80, but 8080,8081, and 8082.

Nessus shouldn't care.
