I'm working on the upgrade (corporate red tape) but if anyone has ideas on how to make 5.5 work, I'd appreciate hearing 
them.

Hello Richard,

Please note that the output you coupied suggests that you're running Nmap 5.50. It's outdated; please try again with 
the latest version of Nmap and let us know if the problem persists.

Yours,
Jacek Wielemborek
