You need to configure the user "root" to use nessus.  Did you run
nessus-adduser or otherwise add "root" to the nessus user database? See
nessusd(8) or nessus-adduser(8) for details.

You must have meant "nessusd -L" - the nessus client (ie, nessus) would
never try to bind to a port. 

But regardless, neither the client nor the server support that option,
as far as I can know.  What are you trying to do here?
