I figured out what was going on, sort of. Basically I had only "Nmap tcp connect() scan" enabled under the scan options. With this setting I was not getting all of the expected results. When I then turn on "Nmap" I get all of the results.
Why would they give different results when I'm only looking for a single port on a single host?
