Simple: Black's bishop can't move to give you check, so you can play Qc3, and if:

Rd1 then Na3#

Rb1 then Ne3#

Kb1 then Na3#

Kd1 then Ne3#

And none of the pawns can move because they're on the wrong side of the board.

Thanks - I would have edited my post with the solution if black didn't have so many possible moves :D
