Thanks much for the reply. I think a number of people have had trouble with
this in the past.

I did the following...
-set background-image for the fo:region-body
-set the margins to 0in and the padding to the top and bottom borders of the
flowing space for the fo:region-body
-set the block-containers to be relatively postioned (not absolute)

Now, I finally have it working.
