You missed a part of my original answer, I guess…
set the width of the outer wrapper to something that fit your image,  
and set the margins to '0 auto'.

I suggested
div {
        width 980px /* eyeballing, the width of your image -- adjust to taste
but keep it an even number */
        margin: 0 auto;
        background: url(path/to/image.png) 50% 50% repeat-y;
}

The 980px width is what is needed to show those 'drop-shadow' things.
