Spacing problems in IE

[tuff_ghost]

This journal hello_layout is always a few (~8?) pixels too wide in IE, forcing a horizontal scrollbar on every page. It's fine in FF. How can I get rid of that extra space on the right side?

As well, the spacing of the header is messed up in IE: the margin-top of the page body is greater, cutting off part of the header image. And the header navigation items are pushed about 30px to the right, where in FF they are correctly left-aligned with the maincontent text.

Here is the code if you need it:

body {
