	margin: 0;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 900;
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
text-align:center;
	font: bold 14px/32px "Lucida Grande", Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif;
	background: #fff;width:900px;margin: -32px 0 0 14px;padding:0px 0px 0 0;
}

#navbar ul {
	float: left;
	list-style: none;

Have you tried float: none; in the #navbar?

If that doesn't do the trick try wrapping the whole navbar in div tags if you can and center that element.

Honestly the best way to do this is to set the margins/padding so that the item is centred. align:centre is problematic so it is best avoided for things like this.
