nessusd.conf is the server's config file; you want to use a client
config file, by default $HOME/.nessusrc.  The server and client use
somewhat different options so their config files are not interchangable. 

The client will create / modify the config file when you run it and
change options.  So, you should probably delete your full.conf /
diff.conf files and start over.  Something like:

   rm full.conf diff.conf
   nessus -c full.conf         # configure it via the GUI to taste
   cp full.conf diff.conf      # then make a copy
   nessus -c diff.conf         # and finally reconfig so it does a diff scan

Hope this helps,

George
