I found a check_bacula plugin somewhere - I think on nagiosexchange. It 
looks at the bacula log files for the last day, and issues a warning if 
any backups have failed. It also reports on the total number of backups. 
It's far from perfect (the warning state always remains exactly until 
midnight, for instance) but for the time being is useful enough for me. 
And it is a perl script, so it should be easy enough to customize.

The copyright notice for that plugin says "Guy Van Sanden" and gives the 
URL http://nocturn.vbsnet.be
