That is odd.

Although the var/cache folder does need to be writable i do not believe it checks that when saving the options.

I would check in two places. Firstly in the database in core_cache_option to see what values are actually in there in case the admin is just out of date (which doesn't normally happen btw) and secondly in your log files var/log to see if there are any errors in there. It might be worth looking in your apache error log as well to see if something is being thrown.

core_cache_option

code

block_html

collections

config

config_api

config_api2

eav

layout

translate

All values are set to 1

There are a whole bunch of files in the var/cache folder, i have no idea where to start

can you tell me what i should be looking for?

[iweb_smartie]

For each row where the value is 1 cache is enabled so it doesn't make sense that they are showing as disabled in the admin.

If you have access to the server, although i do not think it will make any difference, you can try running the following command from the root magento directory

rm -rf var/cache/*

Also, if you run n98-magerun you can run n98-magerun cache:list and that will tell you for each cache type if it is enabled or not.

Try it again using sudo

sudo rm -rf var/cache/*

hijabgem@serv01 [~/public_html]# sudo rm -rf var/cache/*
-bash: sudo: command not found

I cant change the permissions of those two files using ftp either

[iweb_smartie]

Are you able to delete the cache directory entirely?
