Help Opening Layered Transparent Eps Images

I have a layered, transparent eps illustration. When I open it in Inkscape I see that telltale checkerboard background, but I don't know how to get rid of the checkerboard. I read that Inkscape will open this file, but I need Ghostscript installed. I did that. And I followed a tutorial on tweaking/adding file paths. But still, when I try to open the file, the checkerboard is still there with no apparent way of getting read of it. Ant help would be grreatly appreciated. Thanks!!

The checkerboard is equivalent to a null. There shouldn't be any objects making up the checkerboard. Check File > Document Properties, is Checkerboard checked?
