I agree with other comments above, it's better not to read the echo area. You may want to define your own sentinel. Take a look to TeX-LaTeX-sentinel. After you define you're own sentinel function, set TeX-sentinel-default-function to the name of that function in LaTeX buffers.

You should not be listening to the echo area, but instead be listening to the process running in the background using a process filter. There are already process filters in existence with AUCTex. Unfortunately, that library is so darn complex, you need a forum participant like Giordano to guide you further. I use my own function with start-process that calls latexmk.pl and have my own process filter without using AUCTeX, so for me it would be a lot easier because I have just one filter and I know right were it is. To get a head start, look for the process filters in AUCTeX.

Perhaps by advising the message function? But I would try to get the information from elsewhere.
