It is all good, I just needed that ABS reference to push me in the right direction. I was wondering why I didnt have the testing branches until I found /etc/abs/abs.conf and removed the appropriate !'s. Another puzzle piece neatly in place. :) I really love this whole package management setup. Makes for a very pleasing computing setup.
