Can you reproduce this with other meshes, maybe the default ones from SDK? Does this happen without drawing shadows already? Which driver do you use?

I tested it on direcx and opengl and with several (own exportet) modells. without shadows the objects are transparent.
may be it depends on the normal vectors (direction of the faces)...
I will test futher...
