if it helps anyone, here's how i displayed the login link if logged out and vice versa...

{if $login ne ""}

<form action="/store/include/login.php" method="post" name="loginform"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="10" height="1" alt="" /><a href="javascript: document.loginform.submit();">log out</a>
<input name="mode" value="logout" type="hidden">
<input name="redirect" value="customer" type="hidden">
</form>


{else}

<a href="mysite/xcart/myaccount.php">login</a>

{/if}
