pc,

Larry has given the real/sound solution, to have the one black path, and then the Compound Path.

Unsound in this case, a Knockout Group or an Opacity Mask could be sound and relevant in other (quite different) cases.

If the Compound Path gives you grief with no eye holes or only one, it is a minot matter; or you can just use the pathfinder Minus front as an easy way round it.

Select both paths and use Object>Path>Compound Path>Make.

Can you show a screenshot with both objects selected and a view of the Layer panel open?
