Holes/warnings all show Sambar text

I just started using nessus 2.0.12 and immediately ran into some strange
behavior. When scanning a Red Hat Enterprise 3 system, a number of
different warnings and holes all show the same text:
-----
The 'search.dll' CGI which comes with Sambar server can be
used to obtain a listing of the remote web server directories
even if they have a default page such as index.html.
This allows an attacker to gain valuable information about the
directory structure of the remote host and could reveal the
presence of files which are not intended to be visible.
-----
This shows up for ssh, general/tcp, and general/icmp.
I've tried using both the stock plugins from 2.0.12 and the most recent
version. I get a different Sambar message between the two versions, but
the same problem remains-- the messages don't correspond to the
warnings/ports discovered.
Anything else I should look at?
