"auto_enable_new_plugins" will switch new plugins on or off. In order to _get_ new plugins (wich, afaik are always added to the rc) you have to reconnect. As with the cron-job and the CLI you are freshly connecting each time you start a scan, that should be ensured. But I am not 100% sure that the "auto_enable_new_plugins" comes into effect when using the CLI. Would be nice if you report that (or if) it works.
