You may want to upgrade now as Nessus 2.x versions < 2.2.9 may have 
problems with plugins in a few weeks; ie, see:

The lines from nessusd.messages that you included in your message aren't 
helpful in diagnosing your problem. They just show Nessus starting one 
scan and launching plugins in the Settings family (eg, 
ssh_settings.nasl, .. dont_scan_settings.nasl). These plugins are always 
launched and just update settings in each target host's KB but don't 
actually send any packets.
Are you able to show the log lines from scans before and after updating 
plugins? And perhaps with lines relating to the scanning plugins that 
you've configured?
