Click your gradient pulldown to edit your gradient. Is forground to transparent selected? If not, look at your gradient editor. I bet you have a paint bucket on one end that is black. If so, change it to white. Or select the foreground to transparent option and set your forground color to white.
As for the other part of your question.
I'm not sure burn/dodge work on a "shape" without rasterizing it first. Maybe someone can confirm or deny that?
Regards,
