It's because the "weight" is not greater... or it isn't defined more specifically ? For lack of better description.
Try this :

Code:

div#nav ul li.active
{
  color: #000000;
  background: #FFFFFF;
}

Notice the div in front of the id selector. This gives this declaration more "weight".

This SHOULD work, and just a note, you can use ul as the "nav" container itself, no need for an extra wrapping div :)

Edit :
Re-read your original post, might have to add an "a" at the end of that ^
