You're missing curly braces.

    \relative c'
    {
      \override Beam.grow-direction = #LEFT
      \featherDurations #(ly:make-moment 2/1)
      { c32[ d e f g f e f d f g f d e d f] } c4~c | c1 |
    }

\featherDurations only operates on the argument you pass in.  Without 
the braces, you are only giving it a single note.
