I have narrowed down the problem with this error:

Error from the openvasmd log file:
      event task:MESSAGE:2014-07-24 10h59.14 CDT:29960: Task 
20ba6b3d-ab49-4676-ba04-20b7e81c014a could not be started by admin

This message comes from omp.c here:
      Line 24369: switch (start_task (start_task_data->task_id, &report_id))
      .
      .
      .
      Line 24471: case -5:
                            SEND_XML_SERVICE_DOWN ("start_task");
                            log_event_fail ("task", "Task",
                                            start_task_data->task_id,
                                            "started");

The return code of -5 comes from manage.c here:
      Line 2861:  if (scanner_up == 0)
          return -5;
        This is from within the "run_task" function.

I am unable to figure out what is actually setting the "scanner_up" variable 
value.

I believe the problem is the manager is not communicating with the scanner.  
How can I test the scanner/manager communication?  What configuration steps 
might have been missed to cause the manager and the scanner to not communicate?
