Got the hooks from Wayne at The Touring Store. Bought a set of 4 so I could also reinforce the mounting system on my Nashbar panniers - I feel more secure with a third hook on each of those panniers.
To attach the hooks to the backpack I just poked a hole through for the bolt and used a decent-sized washer on the inside to distribute the stress. The backpack material is pretty sturdy so I think it'll hold up fine.
