This error can occur if the subject name in the client certificate
doesn't match what's stored in the user's dname file. So, compare the
subject from the certificate (obtained by running:
openssl x509 -in ~/.nessus_certs/cert_$user.pem -noout -subject | \
sed 's/^subject= *//;'
where $user is the Nessus user) with what's in
/usr/local/var/nessus/users/$user/auth/dname (or wherever the user's
dname file is).
If they do indeed differ, simply update the dname file with the correct
subject.
