OK well I found a work around,

If I break it into two in the script and pass the data to bb through
stdin this will work

MYCMD="$BB $BBDISP -"

echo "status $MACHINE.Bd@ $STATUS `date` local web check" | $MYCMD
----

This works for me - but is there a better way?

Why not something like this:

     MESSAGE="status $MACHINE.Bd@ $STATUS `date` local web check"
     $BB $BBDISP "$MESSAGE"
