Sounds like a bug in Inprotect.  nessus comes with a little app to 
update plugins (nessus-update-plugins) that uses another app 
(nessus-fetch) to actually do the downloading.  nessus-fetch is proxy 
aware.  More info can be found with a google, but this should get you 
started:

The location for nessus-fetch.rc varies, obviously.

You could always investigate Tenable's Lightning Console.

PS Make sure you pay attention to the plugin feed license restrictions:
