Ok, figured out the problem. I was logging in with the command line, but I forgot that you need to escape certain special characters. So, for example, with a password of qwER12#$, I'd need to login like this:
nessus -q localhost 1241 user qwER12#\$ ... Thanks for the help, George.

Yes, you should be able to, and the example you give works for me (with Nessus 2.1.1). How are you trying to log in -- commandline or GUI?
