.nessus File Missing Data

I run my
Nessus scans from the command line via a script. The server is Ubuntu 7.1
64-bit running Nessus 3.2 (Debian 64-bit installer)
 
Here is part of my
script:

/opt/nessus/bin/nessus
-qxV -c /usr/local/bin/asap-scripts/.nessusrc-normal localhost 1241 ### ###
/usr/local/bin/asap-scripts/iplists/${CUST}/nessus-ike-list
/home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.nbe
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus
-i /home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.nbe -o
/home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.html
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus
-i /home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.nbe -o
/home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.txt

/opt/nessus/bin/nessus
-i /home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.nbe -o
/home/scan-data/${SAVETO}/nessus/nessus-scan.nessus
 
We are in
the process of upgrading our in-house database to handle parsing the new
.nessus file format. However, we have run into some issues.
 
The .nessus file seems to be missing data that
is in the NBE and HTML files.  It seems like there might be a bug in the
generation of the .NESSUS file when it encounters an apostrophe.  In the
below the ʽEasy VPN Serverʼ is missing from the .NESSUS file.  I provided
a second example as well.

Can someone help me with this?

The remote version of IOS contains a feature called 'Easy VPN Server' which
allows the administrator of the remote router to create a lightweight VPN
server.

There is an implementation flaw in the remote version of this software
which may allow an authorized user to complete authentication and access
the VPN remotely.
