The footprint pads might be on the "component" side.

If your traces are on the solder side, try to add onsolder after
square, like

  Pad[2200 -1500 2200 1500 3600 3200 2000 "1" "1" "square,onsolder"]

There is also under "Edit->Move to current Layer  M", but I haven't 
been able to move a footprint to the solder layer with that.
