I think you have made a mistake in setting nmap_command_path. See this line:

> DEBUG - 2009-03-15 14:28:48,773 - Running command: ['nmap', '-T4', 'ebusinessnetworking.com', '-oX', 
> '/tmp/zenmap-zFNtD6.xml']

It shouldn't be 'nmap' but rather whatever you set nmap_command_path to.
When I set nmap_command_path to "/usr/bin/nmap" I get

DEBUG - 2009-03-24 11:25:59,399 - Running command: ['/usr/bin/nmap', u'-T4', u'localhost', '-oX', 
'/tmp/zenmap-R8AU78.xml']

It looks like nmap is being found but not working for some reason. It is
possible that you have a broken nmap installed earlier in your PATH than
a working nmap. What is the output of "which nmap"? Do you have both
/usr/local/bin/nmap and /usr/bin/nmap?
