One could write a plugin that does a SHOW MASTER STATUS / SHOW
SLAVE STATUS against the appropriate servers and check that the
log positions are not more than X positions apart. It looks like
this book (http://6URL.com/AAZ) has some sample code, although
it isn't in the form of a Nagios plugin.

rSync backups could be monitored by having the job log and
monitoring the logfile or making the backup job a passive
check.
