450D won't trigger external Sigma 530 DG Super with E-TTL cord. Why?

Hey,

I recently purchased a DSLRKit TTL-C cord to trigger one of my external Sigma EF 530 DG ST Super flashes with my Canon EOS 450D. But for some reason, it doesn't work. I can't even take shots when it is connected. Am I doing something wrong here?

In the cameras display, the flash icon is there but the FE-lock is blinking (FEB in-progress). On the back of the camera, the flash exposure compensation is one and is displaying -3.

Am I missing something here? Are there any specific settings that I need to change or set? I'm pretty new at this, all tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Canon EOS 450D (EOS Rebel XSi / EOS Kiss X2)
