Trying to sweep a profile along a path, "The start direction of a path segment is antiparallel to the end direction of the previous segment"

I am trying to sweep a profile along a path that's an imported SVG file, but the sweep keeps failing with the error "The start direction of a path segment is antiparallel to the end direction of the previous segment". It's particularly infuriating because the preview is exactly what I'm looking for, but Fusion 360 deletes a segment when I confirm the preview.

 

Here are a few images that may explain what's happening a little better.

 

The path I am trying to sweep along:

The profile that I am trying to sweep along the path (basically just a path):

The preview after I extend the sweep (what I want):

The final result:

Fusion360-073121_122946AM.png

 

I have tried sweeping along the curve that is missing, but that also just works partially. I have also attached the file. I'd appreciate any help!

Do it with two sweeps both sides of the profile, to the pointy bit.

Error is Self Intersection with a loop as the path.  Sweeps and Loft do not like Self Intersection.

Pipe worked as a pair but not a single as well.

Set Join is one body.

Might help...
