Try using the "Set Object ColorKey" command. That is the command that specifies which color will be rendered as transparent. That way your whole object won't be transparent, only the parts that are black.

Ghost object does not make the black transparent, it only makes the object translucent.

Well the end effect of that process is that the black winds up being more or less transparent.

Like I said before, use the colorkey command to set the transparent color.
