Update to this ... did some code scanning and it looks like the backup status is available via the details command, e.g.
<lst name="backup"> <str name="startTime">Fri Apr 12 17:53:17 UTC 2013</str> <int name="fileCount">120</int> <str name="status">success</str> <str name="snapshotCompletedAt">Fri Apr 12 17:58:22 UTC 2013</str> </lst> So with a little polling of the details command from my backup script and I'm good to go. If anyone knows of a more direct way, let me know otherwise I'm moving ahead with this approach.
