We have a number of hosts where a service has been moved to a different port. For example, a host with ssh server listening on port 10022 (it happens that it is the only port open on that host). Even if I specifically tell nessus to scan that port it still returns an empty report.
Is plugin #10180, ping_host.nasl, being run? Check the nessusd.messages log; it might be even if you haven't enabled it explicitly since it's a dependency on a number of scanners. If it is and you're using TCP pings (the default), make sure you include 10022 for the preference "TCP ping destination port(s)". Otherwise, the ping scanner will mark the host as dead since, in this case, no other ports are open and Nessus will not bother scanning it any further.
