Is it possible that this --allowplugins was somehow disrupting the
sa-update as now that I have removed it my rules are being used again
(which may mean that they are back up to day?)

Any reason for the non-default --allowplugins?
One of the channels - Open Protect required it
"If you use SA versions 3.2.0 or above, use the following command:
*sa-update --allowplugins --gpgkey

saupdates.openprotect.com*, "
That doesn't mean they require it, that just means they told you to use it.
It also means you open yourself up to possible security attacks, which is why
it's disabled by default.
I'm not saying it's bad if you trust the channel to not screw you, but ...
