I think it depends on your transmap. On your previous pic the chainmail lookd pretty dense. There has to be some black (transparent) areas on it to make transparent bits. Could you try posting the transmap? When applied, the coif should more or less dissapear from the unrendered preview. If it's still fully visible, you haven't made it transparent. But let's have a look at the transmap first :o) (hehe this is much more fun than work)
