Details

Nessus is bad configured. Try to run:
# nessus-update-plugins
/usr/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf does not exist!
Do you have the nessus daemon installed?

Obviously, nessus-update-plugins is a script, which uses some internal options. It includes the options
"...
prefix=/usr
...
sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc"

which is wrong. On arch, it should read

"sysconfdir=/etc"

I have not checked the other settings yet, as I am still not able to update my plugins, but this might be an proxy issue.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed the sysconfdir path in version 2.2.5-2. Tested with my web proxy and it worked ok.

man nessus-fetch (to set up proxy usage):
Cannot open the message catalog "man" for locale "de_DE.UTF-8"
(NLSPATH="<none>")

No manual entry for nessus-fetch

For proxy usage you'll create a file like this:

# /etc/nessus/nessus-fetch.rc
# Containing:
#
# proxy=[ip address]
# proxy_port=[port]
# proxy_username=
# proxy_password=

proxy=192.168.10.12
proxy_port=80
proxy_username=UseProxy
proxy_password=LetMeGo2HellNBack
