Path Object

I'm still plugging away at the basic tutorial and am now on the Paths section. I created the path object and created the nodes, but I am unable to mount static sprite to the path. The tutorial says to click mount then draw the sprite with my mouse over to the node path and the sprite should "snap" to the path then I click and it should mount to it. But it is not doing this. Also, on the sprite object under edit, I'm not seeing the pathing tab showing up, which I believe it should when it mounts, which it doesn't seem to be. Help! Thanks!
