Open /usr/sbin/mkarchroot and change:
mount -o remount,ro,bind "${working_dir}/sys" to mount -o remount,bind "${working_dir}/sys"

Ooh, you're good :)
That was it -- works like a charm now.

/sys is in the filesystem package. When pacman upgrades filesystem it tries to remove /sys then reinstall it (not really, simplified...). It sees /sys is read only and so it can not deal with that so bails. It is a bug in pacman. Allan
