I think we are trying to duplicate your problem.  Can you show us what the texture looks like on the node (expand the node) and what it looks like on the Poser Surface (that's cut off).  On mine I deleted the transparency  channel node and I still got it.

-what happens if you use a different texture on just the hip area?  If you get  the hair, then check and compare the texture maps.  

This may be a challenge for all of us---Jan
