It does appear that the FMS will not plot a DME arc approach automatically , so you'll have to fly it manually. The DME arc will take you around MON at 13 dme distance, when you get to RINOS you tighten up the turn to intercept the ILS for rwy 7. As I said earlier its critical that you have all the charts for the departure and arrival airport. Never trust the plane to be able to fly any part of the route, and make sure that you read and understand the charts before you start the approach / departure / whatever. Also double check your route how it looks in the nav display and the FMC and compare it to the charts. If you had done that it should have been fairly obvious that the dme arc was not plotted and that you'd have to fly it manually.
example dme arc for DTMB:
Use this chart for reference -> http://www.oaca.nat.tn/images/AD2DTMB29.b.pdf
To add situational awareness graphics for a dme arc you go to the fix page, enter MON in the scratchpad (the three character code for the Monastir VOR), then click LSK1L. Then click the LSK for the correct MON VOR in the list (its the top line for me, double check coordinates with your flightplan / charts)
Enter /013 on the scratchpad and press LSK2L.
Whenever you get close enough to the VOR you have entered a dme arc for the FMC will plot a situational awareness arc according to the data you entered at the FIX page. The FMC will not fly the arc for you, you have to handfly this approach.
