Does anyone else get this and does anyone know what to do about it?

I can nmap a host:
nmap 172.17.173.160

Starting Nmap 4.20 
Interesting ports on 172.17.173.160:
PORT     STATE    SERVICE
22/tcp   open     ssh
25/tcp   open     smtp
67/tcp   filtered dhcps
68/tcp   filtered dhcpc
80/tcp   open     http
137/tcp  filtered netbios-ns
138/tcp  filtered netbios-dgm
161/tcp  filtered snmp
162/tcp  filtered snmptrap
199/tcp  open     smux
443/tcp  open     https
1080/tcp open     socks
1443/tcp open     ies-lm
5308/tcp open     cfengine

So clearly I can route to the host and nothing is blocking me, for port
scans at least.

Then I run nessus against it and it goes for about 10 seconds and comes back
with empty results, doesn¹t even detect the host.
I¹m running the Mac OS X client 3.0.6, with my local firewall disabled.
I happen to be doing this thru a Cisco VPN, but I have had this similar
problem not thru the VPN. The traffic flow is OSX>VPN>thru an Imperva
Application Firewall > Target.

This is the tcpdump of the interface on the Imperva Application Firewall of
the ENTIRE nessus scan session. Clearly the nessus scan starts a port scan,
reaches the target, and gets responses back. Then it starts doing ICMP echo
requests, which after 6 tries, is when the session is ended.

The only thing I don¹t have access to is the Cisco VPN and I don¹t recall
any features that would give me the results I am seeing. For it to be the
Cisco VPN, the Cisco would have to be allowing my initial scans but not
allowing the return replies. Unfortunately, being that I am using a client
VPN, I cannot sniff my own local interface to see if those replies get back
but I do see plenty of encapsulated packets returning when I do a scan.

Any thoughts?
