When I use a custom icon, I make the image file a png. It works fine for me and the background is transparent. Try that and see if it works.

When saving a targa with alpha from photoshop, I believe you need to make sure you're exporting as 32 bit, not 24 bit. Otherwise it will only export the three rgb channels (24 = 3x 8 bit channel, 32= 4x 8bit channel), not the fourth alpha channel.
Not that it matters, now that the problem is fixed
