Thanks, I'm getting somewhere now. There is no SCANNER_SET section in the nessus configuration file for these scans. Checking in the ~/.nessusrc there is a SCANNER_SET section and I've used that to replace the missing section in the configuration file I use. Not sure how *that* happened, but I'm sure it explains it :\
Reviewing the plugins identified there I find that most of them don't appear to be on my system (as determined by the SQL output nessus returns when queried about plugins it has). There are 11219 (TCP SYN scan), 10180 (TCP scan), 10796 (labrea tarpit), 14272 (netstat 'scanner'), 14274 (nessus snmp scanner) and 11840 (exclude some IPs from scan).

There is a list of port scanners somewhere. if you are using the command line client, look at the SCANNER_SET in the nessusrc file.
