Pacman doesn't seem to listen to pacman.conf

I have community enabled in pacman.conf with this line:

#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

and in community file

Server = ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/archlinux/community/os/i686

yet for some reason pacman -Syu does this...

root@EnterprizeC bin/ # pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 local database is up to date
root@EnterprizeC bin/ #

I can't install things like skype, because it's not found in the sync db... I'm lost.

Re: Pacman doesn't seem to listen to pacman.conf

This:

#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

needs to be:

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

I believe. Notice the first line is uncommented.
