Disabling safe checks might lead to crashes -- I'd leave it on unless
you're operating in a lab or until you become more familiar with Nessus.
Are you enabling plugin dependencies when you run the scan?

Read Tenable's white paper on configuring Nessus for checks with
credentials:
http://www.nessus.org/documentation/nessus_credential_checks.pdf
and pay particular attention to the section on configuring a local
account and inheriting guest privileges.
My problem is that it appears that I am not attempting to authenticate
at all. The Event viewer on the Win2k machines do not even show an
attempted login. The "Local Checks Failed" plugin is active but does
not give me anything in the report.
Since you mention "Local Checks Failed" plugin, I assume you have a
registered or direct plugin feed, right?
What lines associated with that plugin (hostlevel_check_failed.nasl) do
you see in nessusd.messages? What port range are you using for your scans?
