Ok just a shot in the dark, but try this for the php code:
Not too certain if it would help any though.

PHP Code:

// +-------------------------------------------------------------- 
// | Latest KB Articles 
// +-------------------------------------------------------------- 


  eval( '$kbheader = "' . gettemplate( 'home_kbheader' ) . '";' ); 

  $kbartquery = $DB_site->query(" 
    SELECT artid, categoryid,date, title, hits, author 
    FROM vbArticles_content 
    WHERE categoryid != 7 AND categoryid != 8 
    ORDER BY artid DESC LIMIT 5 
  "); 
if($DB_site->num_rows($kbartquery)) { 
  while ($kbart=$DB_site->fetch_array($kbartquery)) 
  { 
      eval( '$kbbits .= "' . gettemplate( 'home_kbbit' ) . '";' ); 
  } 
} 


Also if possible, post your kheader template ( though i don't think problem's there )
