Yes, it does only do it when moving.
Oh man that sucks. How was the noise compared to a CV axle? Because this doesn't sound anything like the "grinding" of a CV, and I would imagine a diff going out, being metal on metal, would sound like a CV in a way.
This sound sounds more like plastic on metal, as said, with the playing cards... Yes I know playing cards are paper, not plastic. 
If the Diff IS going out, is there a way for me to check it/verify it? I don't know much about diff failure... is it going to make noise for a while, then the car won't move? Or will it just get noisier and noisier till I change it?
I am planning the 5spd swap for a few months down the road... but I've been saying that for a year.
