I received the above error when attempting to start nessusd -D

from Renaud Deraison, I was able to resolve the issue with nessusd -
R. What does this option do - I see no explanation in the help or
online documentation?
It re-generates the database of plugins. I'll make sure this goes in
the man page.
In addition.... can someone remind me what file I could look at to
troubleshoot nessusd startup issues? I believe there is a log
somewhere.
I no longer see the count of plugins as of v3. Can this be found
somewhere also?
The count of plugins was inaccurate in 2.2.x too (which is why it
goes away entirely) -- it would just report the number of files in
the plugins directory. You can get the same result by doing :
ls /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins | wc -w
