These are 15 of my samples, and it seems to work with just that.

classifier<-ksvm(class~.,data=dframe,scaled=T,kernel="polydot",type="C-svc",
			C=1,kpar=list(degree=5,scale=1,offset=0),prob.model=T)
pred.svm<-kernlab::predict(classifier,dframe[,1:15],type="probabilities");

cbind(pred.svm[,2],dframe$class)
            [,1] [,2]
 [1,] 0.29135615    0
 [2,] 0.03668269    1
 [3,] 0.29135845    0
 [4,] 0.03667823    1
 [5,] 0.03667505    1
 [6,] 0.35437992    0
 [7,] 0.29135892    0
 [8,] 0.03667943    1
 [9,] 0.29121498    0
[10,] 0.29121019    0
[11,] 0.29132637    0
[12,] 0.29135683    0
[13,] 0.29134198    0
[14,] 0.29132484    0
[15,] 0.29132652    0

Now that i managed to get me (and you) a closer look - seems like class labels switched maybe? pred.svm[,2] is named "1", but seems to have the probability to be class 0 in it.
This does not always occur however, you may have to run it a few times.
