I wrote a couple of status tools when I was first fighting with nmc
under 7.3. There seems to be a bunch of different states that don't
really show up correctly in the status attribute in nsradmin.
I think what you are doing will work as long as the jobs either complete
normally or are running. If you have a server crash or any other reason
that causes jobs to end prematurely, you'll need to check for things
like a state of "idle" and a non-empty work-list. If you need to parse
the work list (I do to see how many savesets are still left in each
group), it's really an ugly field; as are most of the other attributes
that contain lists of savesets.
