What steps exactly did you take to do this?

I don't know how things stand now, but generally you should be able to  
use the "Cancel" button to cancel policy edits or exit NessusClient  
while discarding changes to avoid making permanent changes.

I've updated the plugin to give people better control of the plugin's  
output via the Report Verbosity global variable setting: if quiet, you  
don't see any additional output; if normal, you see the URLs only; and  
if verbose, you'll see the URLs along with the contents of the sitemap  
file(s). The revised plugin should become available in a couple of  
hours via the plugin feed.
