This BB does not like my syntax, might be ok on the mailing list.

Is there a result with identify -verbose 'your_filename'.psd
If there is one and it reports layers try devolving into separate layers and rebuilding in Gimp.
convert 'your_filename'.psd[1] 1.png for the base layer 
convert 'your_filename'.psd[2] 2.png  ..etc
