i3blocks Problem with arch-update

Have successfully setup all my i3block command blocks properly. However arch-update seems to be not working. This is the command block I have for arch-update in my i3blocks config

command=/usr/share/i3blocks/$BLOCK_NAME                                                                                                    
separator_block_width=20                                                                                                                   
markup=pango

[arch-update]
command=/usr/share/i3blocks/arch-update 
interval= 3600
QUIET=true
WATCH=^linux.* ^pacman.*
BASE_COLOR=#5fff5f
UPDATE_COLOR=#FFFF85
AUR=true
LABEL= 
separator=true

I tested the actual script that spits out the information in pango markdown and that script seems to be working absolutely fine:
The output when executing the script:

<span color='yellow'>254 updates available</span>
<span color='yellow'>254 updates</span>

I tried adding a blank text field in the command block but even the empty field is not showing up.
