Hi Chris,
Pasted your code straight forward in a html-document for reproducing ... 
didn't succeed.
My testpage 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/form-button.htm>
is showing the button on top of the background in IE6 on Win98SE.

So I'm afraid I've no idea why in your case it is going wrong. Only 
things I can imagine:
- doctype o.k.?
- valid html and css?
- perhaps IEmac?
- a kind of peekaboo 
<http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html>?
- one of the 7.000 IE-bugs that I don't know...

Greetings,
francky
