Not able to stream twitter data in to hdfs with flume

[#1]

I'm trying to stream data from twitter to hdfs with Flume, i'm using Cloudera Quickstart VM 5.13, i don't have any error but the destination directory is empty.

This is my flume.conf file:

TwitterAgent.channels = MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks = HDFS

TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.type = org.apache.flume.source.twitter.TwitterSource
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.channels = MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerKey = Sp0ti7peTvFPDJSWMGk2ChMZM
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerSecret = Cncmq5b6rKxWPb6qNSPkqpzIR7L3EcQ8WUCeG0gX4L9sPIzflN
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessToken = 1370386818609377287-IsLuhCt54wK4T2Ua9Cb0TC14rrs1c5
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessTokenSecret = AL7oYsVUQXz5KXtQSj0tu36R85MyvAsBjcgktdZD63Ou6
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.keywords = hadoop, big data, analytics, bigdata, cloudera, data science, data scientist, business intelligence, mapreduce, data warehouse, data warehousing, mahout, hbase, nosql, newsql, businessintelligence, cloudcomputing

TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.channel = MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.type = hdfs
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.path = hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/flume/tweets/
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.writeFormat = text 
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.batchSize = 1000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollSize = 0
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollCount = 10000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollInterval = 600

TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.type = memory
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.capacity = 10000
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.transitionCapacity = 100

I'm invoking this command to stream:

flume-ng agent --conf ./conf/ -f /home/cloudera/flume.conf -n TwitterAgent​

Please i want to know on which part i'm doing it wrong. Any valuable suggestion is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

@Shelton Thank you so much for your help. I can give you the keys to my twitter app so you can test on your end. I created that app only to test Flume, so it's not a big deal if i give you my keys and I will be able to regenerate new ones anyway.
