I want to see a screen of your hypershade with your transparency shader network.

Look in the attribute editor for the file node you are using as a transparency map for the field 'Color Balance'. Color Offset should be completely black, and Alpha Offset should be set to 0.000

Hope this helps :)

And you also have to put an inverted version of your transparency map in the specular color channel. What you see is the specularity of the surface.
