Margin area not tranparent in Firefox (works fine in IE6)

I have created a test page at http://store.diveresource.com/newlayout/bug.htm to illustrate my problem. I have a 3 column design (tableless), and have an issue with Firefox 1.0.7 not rendering the margins correctly (compared to IE6).

Maybe I have an inheritance bug, and Firefox is correct, and IE is wrong, but IE has the look that I want. In any event, I can't find the problem.

The trouble is in the 3 column section which is made up of "left-bar," "center," and "right-bar"
tags inside another
tag called "content" which has a background image. I want this background image to show through in the margin area of the inside content. In Firefox it looks like the margin is drawn white, and IE is transparent. I have tried setting the background-color to transparent in the "left-bar," "center," and "right-bar" tags, but that did nothing.

I'd appreciate any help on this problem if anybody knows what is going on.

Regards,
Jon
