Hello Shawn,

This message is crucial:

It says that the OpenSCAP could not execute the check, because none of
the checks were supported. That is decided, based on the @system
attribute of each <check> for a given <Rule>.

Are You sure, the `oscap` command of yours support SCE?

    $ oscap --version | grep  'Script check engine'

If not, You need to re-build OpenSCAP with

    ./configure --enable-SCE

Fedora ships OpenSCAP with enabled SCE by default.
