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:
     4:4.0.72-1 0
        501 http://ftp.iinet.net.au experimental/main Packages
 *** 4:4.0.68+svn794641-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

        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]#
[xenia:/home/richo]# cat /etc/apt/preferences

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