Thanks Alex, I feel a bit daft for not noticing that myself :) It seems though, that even though this has fixed that, the problem is now occuring the other way; So when there is NO content, it displays fine and when there IS content going below the fold, it shows the 1px gap on the right now.

We need to see more of your code or a link to your page but I suspect your container probably contains floated content and you haven't cleared your floats properly. I have to ask though, if your image is just creating black borders on either side of the container, why don't you use borders

Hi Jermayn, I notice the left and right columns white background colors (or image) are overlapping the 'g-background.jpg'. You either need to may transparent color for left/right column or if background images are used, use nee to make them narrower or maybe add z-index properties.
