Thanks for your help guys, but I'm an absolute perfectionist and I need the nav to be perfect. There must be something to fix this problem.
Also, I did remove the main background image and put a left positioned background image on each li tag. However, this puts one on the far right (after the "contact" link) which I obviously don't want as the is not one on the far left (before the "home" link). In addition, this also makes the entire navigation look even more lob sided to the right.
Take a look...
