You may also need to use the Fill & Stroke panel to set the stroke to be a visible pen and the fill to "none." A separate tutorial on using this method (skipping the extension) can be found [http://verysimpledesigns.com/vectors/inkscape-tutorial-sketch-and-hatch.html here].

A much less ideal approach that may sometimes come in handy is as follows.  First, break the path apart, so that you can grab the outer and inner shapes separately.  Apply hatch to the outer object only.  Select Path>Object to path to convert the hatch fill to a simple path, instead of the hatch-filled object.  Then, subtract the inner shape from the outer shape.  This will ''cut'' the paths, leaving sharp corners at the edges, instead of the smooth paths that we prefer.
