I'm using nessus 3.0.6 on Linux RH ES5.
If I run a scan from the box using the command line, I get similar
results as listed below (no port scanner was enabled during the scan).
If I connect to the scanner from a windows client and create a new
policy, I can see that the scanner is enabled. When I run the scan  
from
it, there are no issues. I've then tried exporting the policy from the
Windows client and using that on the command line in Linux. Result: no
port scanner was enabled during the scan.


Which client(s) are you using? And how are you invoking your  
commandline scans?

There is a known issue with NessusClient 3.0.0 omitting the  
SCANNER_SET section when exporting policies; eg, see:
