Apt pinning suspect?

Hi List,
I've got a Lenny/Unstable/Experimental laptop that I use for work (yes,
i realise that precariously mixing 3 releases is stupid.. but I'm
committed now so oh well.)
Anyway, the point is that my pure unstable/experimental box at home has
pulled in all of kde 4 (version 4:4.0.72-1 0), but my laptop at work can
find kdebase 4:4.0.72-1 0, but the rest of kde4 is still
4:4.0.68+svn794641-1 as a result, it won't update, and is holding
various bits of my system back.
This is in apt-cache policy as well, so for example kfind (one of
kdebases's dependencies):
[xenia:/home/richo]# apt-cache policy kfind
kfind:
Installed: 4:4.0.68+svn794641-1
Candidate: 4:4.0.68+svn794641-1
Version table:
*** 4:4.0.68+svn794641-1 0
501 http://ftp.iinet.net.au experimental/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1 0
500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au lenny/main Packages
499 http://ftp.iinet.net.au unstable/main Packages
4:3.5.7-3lenny1 0
500 http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/main Packages
[xenia:/home/richo]#
But
[xenia:/home/richo]# apt-cache policy kdebase
kdebase:
Installed: 4:4.0.68+svn794641-1
Candidate: 4:4.0.72-1
Version table:

Many thanks, and don't forget to snip all this ;)
