It looks to me like it _is_ putting the text along the path, but in 11
or 12 lines.  Did you enter newlines/linebreaks in the text editor?
If so, get rid of them.

You might consider exporting the image and path to Inkscape, and
setting the text there.  I've had more luck using Inkscape for text
along paths:
