[xmonad] updating.... in xmobar

[J. Bobby Lopez]

I've got the same "Updating..." issue, but it was working fine until I
recently did a kernel/system upgrade.

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Here are the contents of my config
files:

xmonad.hs:    http://pastebin.jbldata.com/m24dc3c10
.xmobarrc: http://pastebin.jbldata.com/m747aabc2

Thanks!
-Bobby
