Be aware that a bad guy will cause the alarm to go off in hopes that you get so aggravated that you turn the alarm off, and then he breaks in.
Others may provide a reasonable malfunction.

Do all of your door/light sensors work? In other words, when you open each door, do they all activate the interior light (rear hatch and window included)?
I believe the alarm sensors are integrated with the open-door sensors, which are relatively easy to test and replace.
PS - very jealous that you have a diesel!

A few people have reported this issue being caused by a faulty BCM (Body Control Module). Check out that link.
