Minecraft – Testfor command not working with radius

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I'm trying to make a redstone signal out of a command block when a player is in the radius of 3, so I made a commandblock with the text: testfor @a[r=3].

A redstone clock is bound to it, and gives it a new one every second.
Now for some reason when I am in the radius, it won't give a signal. Can anyone help?
I'm playing Minecraft 1.6.1 without any mods

Had just the same problem but did some testing on it! it seems that the old stupid north south east west bug still apply to this! I simply switched sides that I had my comparator hooked up to and it worked!
