Using I2C to get sensor data?

I'm having some issues with getting I2C to work on the Java library. I'm using a triple axis magnetometer -> https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10530

This is the code i have -> http://pastebin.com/Ad9pbuf0

I used the same hex commands from the sparkfun tutorial -> https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/301

0x02 Select mode register
0x00 Continuous measurement mode
0x03 Select register 3, X MSB register (Most Significant Bit)

Using the code above i get jumbled numbers back, and it does not update continuously.

Thanks,

Matthew Smith
