Rails Redirect Error - Hartl Rails Tutorial 10.2.3

Question

I am a complete noob, working with Michael Hartle's (awesome) Rails manual, and have a friendly redirect problem in Ch.10.2.3. The goal is to try to save the location, redirect to the page with the signature, and then redirect back to the original destination when registration is complete. My problem is that it just displays the standard user profile page after logging in / creating a session, not a redirect.

I have this in session_controller:

def create
  user = User.authenticate(params[:session][:email],
                           params[:session][:password])
  if user.nil?
    flash.now[:error] = "Invalid email/password combination."
    @title = "Sign in"
    render 'new'
  else
    sign_in user
    redirect_back_or user
  end
end

And this is in session_helper:

def authenticate
  deny_access unless signed_in?
end

def deny_access
  store_location
  redirect_to signin_path, :notice => "Please sign in to access this page."
end    

def redirect_back_or(default)
  redirect_to(session[:return_to] || default)
  clear_return_to
end

private
  def store_location
    session[:return_to] = request.fullpath
  end

 def clear_return_to
   session[:return_to] = nil
 end

I'm sure I made a stupid, simple mistake again, but I can't find it .. help?
