My assumption is that your script runs at the same time as other SMB
scripts, which the remote Windows host does not like. As a result, the
remote host closes the connection early and you receive incomplete
and/or empty strings.

The solution is to tell nessusd that your script will operate on ports
139/445 by adding :

 script_require_ports(139, 445);

in the description part of the plugin, and then just restart nessusd and
try again.
