Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to play well with the plugin and I didn't want to have to do significant changes.
The plugin I'm using is jquery.scrollable.js. Anyone know of a nice scrolling plugin that already has built in to it the ability to continue scrolling when hovering over the "next" nav item? All the scrolling plugins I find use either timers or clicks. I haven't dug into all their code yet; I don't mind doing minor changes to the plugin. The keyword here being: Minor.
