LOL...it's after it sits off the NC coast for days then curves back SW as Ivan dissipates and the ridge catches her. I think some form of this scenario is possible, although I'm not sure it'll take that long. Also, if you watch the Eta loop at 500 mb, it implies that the storm actually wants to recurve up the FL coast as Ivan creates a weakness.

What to watch for...
1. Ivan continues northward, at any speed.... above lets say 3-5mph
-the ridge will hold, and Jeanne will not turn northward, when or where it was predicted.
2. Ivan recurves south, or stalls south of the carolina's.
-The ridge will be weakened enough to allow Jeanne to take a more northerly route sooner.
Whatch those things, whatch how each model handles those things, and you will know the secrets to Jeannes track...

EDIT:
Also of note.... The GFS puts Ivan back into the central GOM... lol
