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!

some data with something like:
myLogHook dest = dynamicLogWithPP defaultPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn dest
,ppVisible = wrap "(" ")"
}
xmonad $ defaultConfig
{ ...
, logHook = myLogHook xmproc
}
hope this helps
Thanks, that díd the trick. Jasper also helped me out although he didn't reply to the list.
I'm a happy xmonad-newbie. I really dig it! :-)
