It appears the script can't determine your host's name. Nessus-mkcert uses the hostname for the commonName attribute as well as part of the organizationalUnitName and emailAddress attributes. So...

From what I can see, it's used only when attempting to make one of the plugins -- 3com_hub.nes, #11025 -- but that plugin's currently broken according to the comment in the C source.
