Import of inkscape boolean path fill does not honor the unfilled portion

I am trying to carve a tiered post cap. which requires carving out fill patterns of decreasing borders. I have created a single SVG for each level but when I import the svg into easel it always fills the outer path completely which will carve everything
SVG in inkscape

after import into easel

Change the cut mode to cut on path.

I think that you might have it set to Cut out a pocket.
