That 1 MOhm resistor in series with your voltage source also looks out of place. (In addition to Oli's answer) – W5VO♦ Jun 12 '12 at 17:21

It's to do with your measurement relative to ground. The DC voltage appears between either side of R2, and you are measuring from the top of R2 to ground.
To fix this either simply move the ground from the bottom of V3 to the bottom of R2, or take a differential measurement between top/bottom of R2.
