Well, what's not working? Is it not printing anything at all? Or is it 
printing at a different interval than you expect? If so, what is the 
interval?

Note that you've specified an interval of 1s:

    modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=ta;interval=1;mode=1;")

By default, the interval value is in seconds. If you append a 'u', the 
value is expressed in microseconds (millionths of a second), which gives 
you sub-second timing granularity, per 
http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/4.1.x/modules/rtimer.html#idp2566368.

This means that to have an interval of 100 ms, you'd define the timer 
thusly:

    modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=ta;interval=100000u;mode=1;")
