I just can't get pacman to update any other repos apart from core and extra since I am on arch64 - tried to change servers directly in pacman.conf and in the include files, unpacked the databases manually to /var/lib/pacman - can't seem to persue it though - what am I missing here?

Maybe you could post your pacman.conf and output of a pacman -Sy operation

You enable a repo not by uncommenting the Include or Server lines, but rather with uncommenting the [repo] lines.

you need to uncomment the headers in /etc/pacman.conf
change:
#[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/community/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community
#[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Server = ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/unstable/os/x86_64
Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable
to
