Ok, I generated a complete set of certificates using OpenSSL and was able to reproduce the error you received. And like you guessed, the resolution involves specifying the passphrase for the client's private key -- you enter that in the "Password:" field in the "Nesssud host" tab when you first start the nessus client. Perhaps you've figured this out already. So in sum, the password the nessus client prompts for is used either as the passphrase for your private key if using public key authentication or the password for your nessus userid otherwise.
