Hey I got it solved so that regardless of the Itemid (even when it's equal to 1) it displays the way I want it.

This code fix was meant for Joomla 1.0.12, but Solution 3 (found at http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=156966 ) worked on my Joomla ver. 1.0.15 site with HiveMind for me. I just had to paste the following code segment in every PHP IF statement that checked a mosCountModules(userN) function.

Just a quick check to see if you're on the front page.

This is a hard-code of the Itemid compatibility mode fix, I think. And it will depend on your template the number of times and locations you'd need to paste the code into.

Hope this helps someone!
