Everything is working again, thanks!

Downloading the signature of the xz package does not work anymore, therefore an update or fresh installation of this package does not work as well.
Maybe you could reupload the signature or adjust the PKGBUILD?
Thanks!

I'm glad that it fixed itself. Sorry for not replying sooner. I saw the notification email and opened a tab to reply, but I must have been sidetracked before I could.
Btw, if you're still using this then I recommend taking a look at the following:

http://xyne.archlinux.ca/scripts/pacman/#parisync
I have been using parisync on all of my systems since I wrote it.

Never mind.
Reinstalling it took care of the problem.
