Get path position rotation quaternion question

Hey,

I'm using the get path position to find the coordinates of a point on a path. Once I have that point, I create a series of points around that point in the shape of an octagon.

The octagon follows the path just fine, but I was expecting it to rotate with the path.

I'm using the rotation quaternion given to me by the getPathPosition like so:

getPathPosition(id, msPosition, pPos, pRot); //Get the point pos and rot

//Next, we translate and rotate the points to the path.

MatrixF xRot, zRot;
xRot.set(EulerF(pRot.x, 0, 0));
zRot.set(EulerF(0, 0, pRot.z));
MatrixF temp;
temp.mul(zRot, xRot);
temp.setColumn(3, pPos);
	
for(U32 i=0; i<8; i++) //Multiply the point by the transform matrix
{
	temp.mulP(*points);
        points++;
}

It translates the points correctly, but upon debugging, I find that the rotation quaternion is:
X:0
Y:0
Z:0
W:1

What does the rotation quaternion do? Is it supposed to be like this? Am I using it correctly? Why is it wrong?
