Answering my own question (I think).  A quick search seems to indicate
that SiteScope cares about return values, not output, so you could
even do something as simple as this:

return $(/hosting/ogsa/ogsa-6.1.0.5/ObjectGrid/bin/xsadmin.sh -p 26572
-bp 26570 -ch nc3sz2ecmus02 -routetable | grep -c unreachable)
