Thanks for all your help.  That'll teach me to hack shell scripts at 3:30 on
a Friday afternoon... ;-)  Quoting and escaping causes issues...  Anyway, it
appears that I can continue to use the 2.2.0 with the new update method
until I can successfully compile the new binaries (2.2.2).

Another question I had was this:  In the future can I "activate" my existing
code by purchasing a subscription so that scanners will begin downloading
the 0 day feed without the need to modify the script?  Or do subscribers
need to use the new nessus-fetch script?

Actually, if nessus-fetch will compile correctly this will soon become a
non-issue.  It just means modifying the update cron job on each of my
scanners.

Regards,
Luke

You don't need to escape anything.

ie:

location="http://plugins.nessus.org/get.php?f=all-2.0.tar.gz&u=...";
location_md5="http://plugins.nessus.org/get.php?f=all-2.0.tar.gz.md5&u=...";
location_sig="http://plugins.nessus.org/get.php?f=all-2.0.sig&u=....";
