I've just found out that there might be a problem in the source code. If 
--transparent is set the poiDispFlag of the TREFile is initialized with 
constant POI_FLAG_TRANSPARENT=0x2. If the poiDispFlag in the 
LocatorConfig.xml is set this is overwritten. So the --transparent flag 
should have no effect for POIs in Austria because the poiDispFlag is 
configured to 0xc.

@Steve, do you know if that matters?
