I think you are confused. You CANNOT store your string
in ram that way. You can use either .cseg and put it in
flash and then use the LPM instruction as others have
pointed out.

You can put into EEPROM using .eseg and then use an EEPROM
reading routine to get it out of EEPROM.

OR

You can put it in flash as above, copy it to ram at run
time and THEN use ld    r16,Z+ to retrieve it. At present
you are to reading from ram that may not be there
(i.e. 0xff data)
