Pacman not reading /etc/pacman.conf???

All right, I'm sorta new to linux and VERY new to Arch. Love what I see so far, but I've got a little problem.

I've uncommented out and added some repositories in /etc/pacman.conf, but when I run pacman -Syu it only sync's up with the core and extra's database. I have uncommented out testing, and added the kdemod repos... What am I doing wrong???

pacman -Syu
::Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 local database is up to date

Argh!

Sorry, should've mentioned that I'm a 64bit user, in case that makes a difference...

Thanks!

Yep, should've done that. Sorry!

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman manpage for option directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number

#Include = /etc/pacman.d/testing

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

Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

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

Well, you need to uncomment

#[community]
#[kdemod]

to read:

[community]
[kdemod]

Notice the absence of the "#" symbol.

That worked perfect. I thought they were just labels... D'oh...

Thank you very much!
