This should work, can you issue the following sp_fulltext_table
'employee','start_full' and then retry?

If it doesn't work check the gatherer logs.

I cannot get the catalog running and read the knowledge base :

ArticleID -317746
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317746/en-us

So I issued the command said in the article against the master db in QA.
Then tested with

select fname, lname
from employee
where contains (fname, 'Gary')

However, the result returned was empty with column headers only.
