Pete,

  This is nepomuk going tits up. I don't know if it is nepomuk itself or soprano
causing the issue.

17:31 nirvana:~/tdegit> pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libsoprano.so.4.3.0
/usr/lib/libsoprano.so.4.3.0 is owned by soprano 2.7.4-1

Are you explicitly loading dbus in /etc/rc.conf? If so where? In my setup (still
kde3/Trinity) hal loads dbus, so I bring it up after network, but before bind:

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network hal named @netfs @ntpd @sshd @dhcp4 @crond
@postfix @mysqld @dovecot @httpd @hylafax @samba @cupsd @sensors @upsd @spamd
@saslauthd !kdm @avahi-daemon)

Your log above looks like you have powerdevel/kde4 loading (I presume kdm)
almost immediately after network. You may want to try dbus earlier in the list.
See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rc.conf

What is loading powerdevil.backlighthelper? kdm? I don't run kde4 or kdm, but it
looks like it wants dbus up and running.

Others will have to step in and give more specifics. That's all the guesses I have.
