A recent message to the mailing list from Renaud seems relevant here:
<http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/nessus-0301/91/1.html>.  In it
he states that some plugins can not be disabled, although they just fill
up the knowledge base without sending anything over the network; others
might be enabled via any port scanners you enable. 

90, though, does sound like alot.  What are they?

Do you know which ones are causing problems?  Is the nessus log of any
help here?

How about an alternative approach? Simply run the bugbear.nasl script
directly against your targets; ie, "nasl -t 192.168.1.0/24
bugbear.nasl".
