I'm slightly confused, would it work if you connected it to a transposer or whatever makes things go out? Or, looking at your post, just hook it up to nothing so it will work?
You need a path for the items that are pulled out to go, ie. a barrel or chest
I have them being pulled out of an ender chest and being pulled through the filter, to the sorting machine?[DOUBLEPOST=1365126176][/DOUBLEPOST]If I have the filter there all by itself with only a timer next to it and I put items into it then it will spit them out. It will not spit them out if i have a pneumatic tube connected to the front or a chest connected to the back.
The way RP is coded(I think) is that so items will not fall onto the ground, there has to be a "valid" inventory for the items to go after being pulled out.
I do actually have the items being pulled through the sorting machine into more tubes, I just took this part of it into an open area to get a better picture. The problem is that the filter will not pump any items out. If I pump items into it, they don't come out. For some strange reason, if I break the tube at the end of the filter after having pumped something into it (keep in mind, nothing has been pumped out yet) then the items will all start pumping out. I could make a video if that helps?
I would imagine the problem here is that your sorting machine isn't set up properly for what you're trying to do. A screen shot of your sorting machine's interface would help.
Was there an item, or items, going through your sorting machine at the time you took that screenshot? If not, its jammed on something.
1) Your sorting machine is backlogged as indicated by the red light at the output side, there's something there that has no destination. RP devices will NOT output into a tube if there's not a valid inventory somewhere to put it, when this happens things get backlogged and it all stops. If the sorting machine is backlogged, the filter no longer has a valid destination to send things. Place a chest over the tube at the sorting machine to see what's jamming it.
2) place the enderchest directly next to the sorting machine and put the sorting machine into self ticking mode (its the selection box at the top and it'll have a dot in the center with arrows flowing around it or something. The sorting machine itself will pull out of the chest in this mode (you won't need a timer or anything at all), you don't need the filter unless you're intentionally having it leave items in the chest. If that is the case, use the filter on the other side of the sorting machine and have it filter out black items and direct them where ever your trying to get them (your configured default coloring).
I hope that helps

Ah, yeah. I didn't notice the red light.
When it's lit up like that, try placing a chest on the output side of the sorting machine that's not preceded by a marked pipe. Any jammed items should be deposited into it automatically.
Although... they should already be unjamming themselves by going into whatever chest is marked by a black tube. Maybe destroying/resetting the sortingmachine will help.
