Can you screenshot your GSdx settings? Including the Advanced Hardware Hacks menu? This looks like it may be a Skipdraw problem.

I've fiddle around with some setting but got nothing to work, sorry for the late reply to the post.

1) Your PCSX2 version is very out of date. I have a link in my signature for the development builds, these may help out in other places.
2) As I suspected you have skipdraw set to 1. Restore this to 0.
