out that square brackets and a bunch of others are not supported so I  
need to know if I can remove them from the alert code or somehow  
generate the message in a way that it doesnt send them.

and the smsalert.sh
echo "${BBALPHAMSG:0:160}" | gnokii --sendsms "$RCPT"

How about

 echo "${BBALPHAMSG:0:160}" | \
 sed -e 's!\[!(!' -e 's!\]!)!' \
 gnokii --sendsms "$RCPT"

to simply replace the square brackets with plain ones ?
