I've no idea what is wrong (and you file works as I expected - I think- in Opera). I saved your file (+svg) to my local dev server, and there it works correctly, although the svg file doesn't scale to the size of the object. PS - firefox 1.5+ does not need any plugin to display svg file. Support is build-in.
