Good -- it's a *very* helpful posting.

Tenable has a fairly detailed user guide for NessusClient 3.2 -- http://www.nessus.org/documentation/NessusClient_3.2_User_Guide.pdf 
  -- that you may want to look at. In short, though, you'll want to  
connect to a server, select the scan policy that you are using, and  
then select "Edit..." to bring up the policy editor window. Towards  
the top of the new window, you'll see several tabs: "Policy",  
"Options", etc. The one you want is "Advanced", all the way to the  
right. Click on that, select "Nikto (NASL wrapper)" from the pull-down  
menu, and finally click on "Enable Nikto".  If it's not listed, it  
could be because the plugin has been corrupted, you're not actually  
logging in to a Nessus 3.x server, or nikto.pl truly wasn't found in  
the path.
