I'm not actually clear which Windows GUI client the original poster was 
talking about:

NessusWX supports exporting of sessions, and the result should work with 
the unix commandline client or NessusClient v1.x. The export does, 
though, lack info about certificates and server host / ip info.

The GUI included with Nessus for Windows also uses a mostly compatible 
format, although it too lacks info about certificates and the server 
host / ip. You will probably need to remove the 'FAMILY_SET' block, 
though, also.

The NessusClient 3.0.0 beta does not currently support the .nessusrc 
configfile format, although I believe it's a feature request.

Nessus for Windows supports a minimal commandline interface ("nessuscmd 
-h" for info).

The other two Windows clients do not.
