VGUI TGA images are no like HUD Sprites. They do not draw one colour transparent by default.
Translucency is controlled by an alpha map in the image. Black is transparent (or white?) and white is opaque (or transparent?) and the in between is a gradient difference of the two. You need to use a 32bit TGA file format, the first 24bits are the colour, the next 8bits are the alpha map. Photoshop has some problems with alpha from memory, Paint Shop Pro works like a charm. Hope this help.
