Subject: Endgame position from game; can Black draw?

In a game (20 sec/move) between "Der Bringer" and my program occured this
endgame position. My program - playing as Black - sees only a small advantage
for White, but it looses. Is it possible to draw the endgame or was the game
already lost before?

[D]6k1/pB2pp1p/6p1/8/4P3/5K2/r5PP/3R4 b - - 1 30

the game continued:
30. ... Kg7 31. e5 Ra5 32. Ke4 e6 33. Rd7 Ra4+ 34. Ke3 Ra3+ 35. Kf4 h6 36. Bc6
g5+ 37. Ke4 Rc3 38. Ba8 a5 39. Ra7 Ra3 40. Bc6 Ra2 41. Be8 Re2+ 42. Kd4 Rd2+ 43.
Ke3 Rxg2 44. Bxf7 Rxh2 45. Bxe6+ Kg6 46. Rxa5 Rh1 47. Ke2 Kh5 48. Bf5 Rh2+ 49.
Ke3 Rh1 50. e6 Kh4 51. e7 Re1+ 52. Kf3 Rxe7 53. Ra4+ Kh5 54. Ra1 g4+ 55. Kf4 Re3
56. Rh1+ Rh3 57. Bxg4+ Kg6 58. Rxh3 Kg7 59. Bf5 Kf6 60. Rxh6+ Kg7 61. Kg5 Kf7
62. Re6 Kf8 63. Kg6 Kg8 64. Re8# 1-0

Maybe it is easier for humans than for computers to judge this position
correctly, but I am a too weak player to do that.
