[SOLVED] pacman -Syu -- "there is nothing to do"

For several weeks now, possibly almost a month - whenever I run 'pacman -Syu', I get the following output:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

... I've never gone so long without seeing any available updates, and being completely "up to date" for such a long stretch of time - I've got alot of software on my system, including kde (4.6.5)... so I'm beginning to think something's wrong.

Thing is, I'm not sure how to diagnose or fix; any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I guess first question ought to be:  should I have seen a kde update by now? 

Any ideas where to look for potential problems, or what might be causing this?

Thanks!

Hello corey_s,
have you checked your mirror's status? Have a look at http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/.
If your problem persists, you might want to pastebin your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

You can always pick up a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

There is a feed on the front page of archlinux.org of all the most recent packages: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update

There was a big bump of KDE at the end of last week. Your mirror is out-of-date.
