Need help with smp and racemenu

[fishburger67]

In between tasks taking care of my wife, I have been fooling around with bhunp and smp.  Decided I loved it and am now exploring how to add smp hair to some of my followers.   My normal procedure for modifying an npc is to create the character in racemenu, export the nif/dds files and then copy them into the facegen directory for that npc,  It has worked a charm for me forever.   Now, I am trying to add smp based hair and having a hard time.  I have spent the last two days fooling with it to no avail.  There is a screen shot below of the problem. 

The character on the left is the racemenu created player.  The character on the right is the is the modified npc with the export of the player character on the left.  Note the long black streaks .  That is the smp hair,  If I make a mistake and mess up the nif and get a black face (eg not having the right lips or something), the hair shows up fine,  As soon as I fix the nif, the streaked hair shows up,  Here is the nifscope output.  Note that instead of having a hair, scalp and hairline, you have 13 head pieces.  I have tried everything I can think of to fix this to no avail.

 

Anyone have any ideas
