Mike, Dave, CJ, anyone else - Have played around a bit more with this and have found that it IS the background element in the HTML that is causing the body attachment to act as "scroll" rather than "fixed" in IE.
If I remove them BOTH from the HTML, my logo acts as intended in IE. If I keep either the background image OR the background color in the HTML, the attachment acts as "scroll" in IE. So, with the problem issue isolated (background color or image in the html) does anyone know of an ie-specific workaround for this issue? I'm pretty much at my wits end about what to do. Like, is there another rule I can implement in my ie-specific stylesheet that may make ie behave? Once again, all assistance is greatly appreciated.

I haven't played with fixed images enough to know whether or not IE supports them, but if they do in the HTML tag, you might want to consider having the background color and the logo in HTML, and the gradient in BODY. The logo shouldn't be hidden by the color in HTML, I would think.
