Allow me to elaborate on myself for a second.  I recall hearing at some
point in the past that the googlebot has the smarts to not follow links that
are hidden... at least in a limited sense.  In this case, the navigation
div's have display: none.  If what I heard was right, then google would skip
these links as they were obviously hidden from view.
