Try following the nessusd and its child processes with strace while
launching a scan.

Alternatively, it might be useful to reconfigure nessusd to not use SSL
for communications (ie, set "ssl_version = NONE" in the client and
server configs, restart server) and trace the NTP messages sent to the
client.

Do you see anything like:

  user USERNAME starts a new scan...
  user USERNAME restores a session...
