If you're just trying to get the coordinates, you can use:
$result = $xml->xpath('//coordinates');
I have a feeling you'll want to do more parsing than that, thought.
In the case of your example, I believe it should be the following:
$result = $xml->xpath('Folder/Placemark/LineString/coordinates'); _or_
$result = $xml->xpath('Document/Folder/Placemark/LineString/coordinates');
I can never remember. One of those 2 will work.
