Well, I guess you can try passing the script as the command ;)

Client Run Before Job = "cmd /c if [%l]==[Full] ntbackup <...>"

I did not try it, so you might need to fix the escaping and/or specify a
path to cmd.exe.

Same here.

I just do:

start /w "" ntbackup backup systemstate /F "<filename>"

and it works without a hitch, on both xp and xp x64; I had to add the
"start /w" bit in order to halt the script until ntbackup is done.
