The fact that it's asking you this question means something's not quite
right.

nessus-mkcert-client needs to access the CA's private key (cakey.pem). 
This should already have been created by nessus-mkcert and should be
found in the same directory as the server's private key, which was given
by key_file when you ran "nessusd -s".  On my system, that's
/usr/local/var/nessus/CA, but Mandrake / you may have used a different
prefix. 

Are you running nessus-mkcert-client as root on the same host as the
nessus daemon? If so, can you find cakey.pem? Where? And if you can,
does the directory defined by $localstatedir in the script exist on this
host?
