The Clipper feature needs to be one or more closed polygons, so a polyline won't work.

when i look at the vertices in the shapefile it is closed. Is there something i'm missing?

It's closed indeed, but it's still a line. If you run it trough a GeometryCoercer, set to fme_polygon, before putting it through the Clipper it should work
