JQuery :: Validation Plugin - Cannot Check Email Fields

Basically I'm using the plugin to validate a form. I've got the basics set up and working. Now I'm trying to use remote so that I can check for a duplicate email address. The problem is as soon as I add my checking script the validation stops working on the email field completely. It constantly says "please enter a valid email address" no matter what I put in the field. If I don't have the remote bit in my code the email field validation works correctly. Here is my site: [URL].

This is my code:
login.js
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content form').validate({
rules: {
title:{
required: true
},
name: { .....
