Hmmm thinking about this I moved the first Worldwide mirror 
mirrors.evowise.com, which is out of sync, 2 positions down so that 
mirror.rackspace.com is the first.

Trying again pacman -Syu I do now get a month of updates waiting to be 
installed.

Good to know that a out of sync mirror can inhibit updates !
