Fixed Foot Nav Bar

[powersstuff]

Wracking my brain! I've got a fixed footer nav bar and want it to be tucked behind a small logo image on each end. I've edited the CSS so many times that I can't remember what I started with, but the problem seems to be z-index related. If container is set a -1 then the links do not work, but if the navbar is z-index higher then it covers the images. Please suggest best way to get navbar on top, with its container beneath, and bookend images. Thanks for help.

This is how I want it to look, but need to get the links working:
