Err, did you backup /var to root? Just remove the entry for /var from fstab then.
If you really removed it, well, good luck recovering your pacman database (among others)...
edit: read-think-write. oh boy.

yeah, removed entry from /etc/fstab, changed pacman directories from pacman.conf and just reinstalling all the 600mb kde stuff
