I'm having trouble outlining type in illy cs2 (on pc, blech)

the type has a warp applied to it and when I outline it, the original shape of the letters is what gets outlined. It would look just fine for printing, but I need to output this for cut vinyl so the outlines need to actually be where the image is. I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious but it's one of those days where my brain won't give me access to important stuff like that.

Ok, so from the beginning: I typed the line. Applied warp. Selected type line with arrow tool. Selected create outlines from the type menu.

Here's a pic of what I'm getting.

what do i need to do to get the outlines to line up w/ the actual warped text?
