I have been staring at this for the last day and I can't figure out why it isn't working. I cannot for the life of me get topBarCmd or botBarCmd to show up; I pretty much copied these configs from one of my working systems, and just edited them for a different monitor size.
Relevant XMonad section:
-- dzen config
sBarCmd = "dzen2 -fn '-*-times-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -bg '#000000' -fg '#ffffff' -h 16 -w 840 -ta l"
topBarCmd = "conky -c ~/.conkyrc | dzen2 -fn '-*-times-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -bg '#000000' -fg '#ffffff' -h 16 -w 840 -x 841 -ta r"
botBarCmd = "conky -c ~/.conky_bottom_dzen | dzen2 -fn '-*-times-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -bg '#000000' -fg '#ffffff' -h 16 -y 1034 -w 1680 -ta c"
sBarCmd shows, but the other two don't. Any ideas?

You're going to have to post your whole config. As it stands, you aren't running anything, just setting the commands.

Well yeah, I know that.
Here is the whole config though.

Here are my conky's if they help too:

As I said, this config works on two other systems, so I am stumped as to why it won't work on this one.

this /could/ be related. with the new conky, '#' after TEXT is still treated as comment. to use your conkyrc's as is you'll have to patch conky to support the \# escape sequence then fix all your #'s with escaped \#'s. if you've already done this, then well, ignore me. if not, you can google, or check my website for info regarding the patch.
you might also want to set 'out_to_x no' along with your current 'out_to_console yes' this may have no effect tho.
good luck.
and by the way, just for my own curiosity; how does ghc know what dzenConkyTop and dzenConkyBottom are? they aren't declared the way dzenSbar is...
i just spawn my second bar outright like this:
main = do
d <- spawnPipe myStatusBar
spawn myOtherBar
xmonad $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig
{...
where myStatusBar and myOtherBar are defined as yours are and d is fed by myLogHook.

Does the # problem exist for the conky-cli in the AUR?
Beats me about how XMonad knows about those, I copied them from someone here that had 2 top and a bottom bar. I know it works though, its the same on the laptops.

lifeafter2am: You're problem is indeed related to Conky handling #'s as comments as you've found out as well. The problem also exists for conky-cli since it uses the newest version of conky.
Downgrade to 1.6 or patch and your bars will work. Check out this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77209

Ok thanks. I edited the PKGBUILD to use 1.6.1 and installed it that way. Works now!
