Dear B Chandra and Felix, It seems i messed up with the openvasrc file that was created by the UI client. Once again i created the file and seems its working. I am trying to find out which switches did i mess up with and will post accordingly.
One thing i observed is that still Openvas over writes the custom rc file and writes all the plugin ids BUT set them to no. Secondly, the sequence in which the preferences are specified in the file also makes a difference.
