Your scanner is not registered. You need to register by doing :

/opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register <activation code>

Also, make sure that you do not have an older version of Nessus lying  
around. By looking at your error messages and the PATHs, you seem to  
have an older version of Nessus 2.x installed (older than the current  
2.2.11).
