    You have this:

    ul#navigation li#navigation-3 a.current { background-position: -164px -164px -36px; }
    

    There are only two values needed to position a background, get rid of one and it should validate.

    Update: you have this on all of your current selectors, remove the third value from all and it will be fine.
