The client has no way of knowing what plugins a server has until it
connects to it and receives a list. With a GUI client, normally this
happens when you first authenticate; you could, though, launch a scan
and then authenticate and you'd have the same behaviour as with the
commandline client.

You could see whether my own update-nessusrc script works more smoothly:

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

It uses Perl and offers some additional functionality vis-a-vis Edgeos'
Python-based script.
