So it will start if you jump the positive battery post to the large wire running to the starter on the solenoid? If that's not how you are "hot-wiring it", then we'll need more info.

If that is it,then it could either be a bad starter solenoid or a bad ingition switch (or a bad electrical connection anywhere along that line...).

Electrical problems are always fun... [:'(]

Yeah we need some more info. It's sounding like an ignition switch thusfar, but not sure.

Yes, and I am not sure how you would hook it up, but that is your problem. One thing I know for sure is that you don't want to eliminate/ bypass the neutral safety switch if at all possible.
