Quick question

I am trying to update nessus. I ran the update and discovered that the directory was out of space; it kept giving me errors on each NASL. So, we added space to the directory. Now, the updater won't pull the new updates. It seems to assume that it has them. I assume it does not since I can't find plugin 960714.

Any ideas on how to force it to update the database?

Thanks.

Plugin updates are probably already working, but if this happens
again, you could force the update by removing the file 'MD5' from the
plugins directory.

The check for 960714 is plugin #35221, (smb_nt_ms08-078.nasl).
