So we run what seems to be a successful scan, but when I look at the  
report,  I get no info in the report - I just get the following

Now no where in the docs or the report can I find what these  
vulnerabilities are ???


Take the term "vulnerabilities" in the report with a grain of salt -  
in some cases they're not actually vulnerabilities but rather just  
informational messages. In fact, in your case, all 4 of the items  
reported are only informational: traceroute from the Nessus server to  
the target, the Nessus server could ping a target, the IP protocols  
supported by the target, and general information about the scan.
