A possible complication to using the output from query event
to trigger email -- I have seen instances in which query event
reported that a scheduled backup completed when, in fact, it
did not.  The particular situation involved the adsm client
not being able to access the disk it was supposed to backup,
and then timing out.  Apparently the scheduler thought the
session had ended normally.
