PaintBefore covers Axis Labels and Tickmarks

[duanebalsiger]

I am inserting a AnnotationRectangle into a bar chart using and setting "PaintBefore" to TRUE so that it appears behind as a background to a portion of the chart.  The bar chart and point labels appear on top of the chart, but the Axis labels and tickmarks appear behind the chart.  Has anyone encountered this before?  What do I need to add or change for it to work?  If I can't get the labels to show up I will have to write them out as annotations - not the optimal solution.

Below is the code - thanks!
