This is how Nessus has always behaved - the file is rewritten when you
start a scan.

Use one of the update-nessusrc scripts to maintain your rc file:

  http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/
  http://www.edgeos.com/resources/

The first is a Perl script I wrote; the second is a Python script from
Edgeos Security. Both are free.
