I'm guessing it's your doctype:

   <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

Just try taking the last part of it out.  I think, IE6 uses a
standard-compliment mode and a not so standard compliant mode all triggered
by the doctype.  You've triggered the standard-compliant mode with that
last bit, and IE doesn't seem to eager to center things vertically in
standard-compliment mode.  At least that's what I've figured. :-)
