Is there a way that we can center the the scale bar on our map? By default, it appears that the scale bar is left justified, which is not appropriate for data driven pages.
Have you tried authoring the MXD with the scalebar anchor position at Center, Center rather than lower left?

Jeff,
Yes I have, however even if the anchor position of the scale bar element is centered, the scale bar will still draw from the left hand side of the element making the scale bar appear as if it is not centered.
In the attached image you will notice that even with a center anchor, the scale bar is not in the center of the element.
This is unfortunately a known limit for 10.0. The original envelop size (what is being centered on) needs to be maintained so that scale bars don't shrink when you go from page to page. At 10.1 we've introduced some new scale bar options and fixes that elimiate this issue.
