Swiftmailer Not Functioning + Bad Redirect

Hey guys, I can't seem to get this code to send my email - when I attempt it I get redirected to a blank page and no mail is sent. I've copied and pasted Hampton's code into mine, but to no avail. Any ideas?

    // contact form submission
$app->post('/contact', function() use($app){
  $name = $app->request->post('name');
  $email = $app->request->post('email');
  $msg = $app->request->post('msg');

  if(!empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($msg)) {
    $cleanName = filter_var($name, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    $cleanEmail = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
    $cleanMessage = filter_var($msg, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
  } else {
    //message the user that there was a problem
    $app->redirect('/contact');
  }

  //use swiftmailer to send info from contact form via email
  $transport = Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');
  $mailer = \Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

  $message = \Swift_Message::newInstance();
  $message->setSubject('Email From Our Website');
  $message->setFrom(array(
     $cleanEmail => $cleanName
  ));
  $message->setTo(array('treehouse@localhost'));
  $message->setBody($cleanMessage);

  $result = $mailer->send($message);

  if($result>0) {
    //message success
    $app->redirect('/');
  } else {
    //message failure
    //log error
    $app->redirect('/contact');
  }
});
