Additional Information

JPEG does not support transparency. Therefore, when using JPEG compression for a TIFF output the background will not be transparent. The black background is the expected result. Background transparency is supported with image compression options other than JPEG.

Workaround

Set the Image Compression to 'LZW', 'Pack Bits' or 'Deflate'.
