Hi 6String,
Thanks for your help so far. There has been a development, I came home from work and tried the software updater again and it found three updates for Keynote, Pages and Numbers (I re-installed these to check they still worked as I use 08). So it is definatly not a problem with the Software Updater tool. I just had a quick look and it has also installed updates for iTunes (now running 9.0.2) Remote Desktop Client(3.3.1) and AirPort Utility Software (5.4.2). So the problem seems to purely bee with Snow leopard. I can't understand it, are there any other checks I can do to find out what could be going wrong?
I also looked into the System Profiler, not sure if this helps:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6 (10A380)
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.0.0b1

I'd think that your hard drive was failing or needed repair via disk utility, but since the other updates were successful, I suspect some corruption in your filing system somewhere.
Did you do a clean install, or an upgrade when you installed Snow Leopard?
All I can think is to boot from SL disc, and do a clean install, and see if that fixes it.
