If you specify a directory explicitly, I think Nmap should only use
scripts from that directory. And that what happened when I just
tested with RC6 on Linux and Windows. Are you sure Nmap is running
scripts from the default scripts dir when you pass a custom --script
directory? Can you give us the details to reproduce this?

Thanks,
