Where is "nessus" located? You don't seem to be setting PATH or calling
nessus explicitly from your shell script, so it may be simiply that the
nessus client is not found if PATH differs between what cron and your
shell use.  I'd expect that you'd receive an email from cron saying
something like "nessus: command not found".  Did you check for that?

Yes, the nessus client creates that file if it doesn't already exist.
