Countdown won't decrement on home page of Blue Masters theme

I'm on a D6 site. The Countdown module (http://drupal.org/project/countdown) works on other pages, but it won't automatically decrement when I put it on the home page. I imagine it has something to do with the slider, but that's just a guess. Can someone give me a clue?

You can see it at http://internal.ironmicrophone.com.

Thanks!
