Sweep Creator not working for me

or maybe it's my addled brain... The path I have is somewhat the shape of a lower case "r" (imported from Illustrator as .svg). I've extruded it and I want to sweep its path with a small circle to round its edge. Nothing in Cheetah is behaving as I assume it would.
 
There's no need to extrude in first place. Sweep will do along a spline.
Here´ s to the look of the set-up:

Let me rephrase: The path shape has been Extruded to act a 3mm thick side in my model. I am trying to sweep that same "r" with a small circle path to soften the "r" shapes' edge, since it will be in contact with the skin. When I add the path to the Sweep creator and drop in a circle spline, I can't seem to get it to run along the "r" shaped path.

I want to sweep a small circle along the path of the "r" but this is what I get. Don't want it symmetrical. Can't seem to scale it down to be just a tube running along the r's path.
 
Finally got this with a text "r" to illustrate. Wasn't working with my sag fake shape...
