Can you paster here the output of the gdalinfo tool on one of these images?

Rationale. If your geotiff are RGB and they contain black portions we
can use the InputTransparentColor to remove such areas.
If the overall mosaic has holes (portions not covered by data) I would
suggest to set the BackgroundValues to 0 and leave the
OutputTransparentColor to 000000.
This is a two steps approach:
-1- use InputTransparentColor  to remove blackportions within the images
-2- use BackgroundValues to ask for a black background
-3- use OutputTransparentColor to make the background go away

ok, that was 3 steps, but I guess you got the idea :)

Thinking, this is actually strange. If you configure the geotiff as a
single geotiff store does it look differently?
Which version of GeoServer are you working with?

K, this answer partially to my question above, however the gdalinfo
would be very useful anyway.
It would be probably also good to have access to a couple of samples
to reproduce the issue. You can
send them privately if you wish.
