nrf9160 GPTIOTE and DPPI pub/sub won't fire

I'm looking to test the DPPI peripheral on the dev-kit, and to that end I though a good example would be to setup the DPPI peripheral to trigger an event when a button is pushed, and toggle the output to one of the LEDs. 

I'm having trouble getting my example to do anything though, and I can't find anymore settings in the datasheet or the nrfx drivers to show what configuration I am missing.

My attempt at this is below:

#include <zephyr.h>
#include <hal/nrf_gpiote.h>
#include <hal/nrf_dppi.h>

#define PUBLISH_EVENT_INDEX  (0)
#define SUBSCRIBE_TASK_INDEX (1)
#define DPPI_CHANNEL         (0)

/** @brief Set bit at given position. */
#define DPPI_BIT_SET(pos) (1uL << (pos))


void main(void) {
	printk("The sample has started\n");

	/* Configure GPIOTE Index 0 to be an Event */
    nrf_gpiote_event_configure(PUBLISH_EVENT_INDEX,SW0_GPIO_PIN,NRF_GPIOTE_POLARITY_HITOLO);

    /* Configure GPIOTE Index 1 to be a Task*/
    nrf_gpiote_task_configure(SUBSCRIBE_TASK_INDEX,LED3_GPIO_PIN,NRF_GPIOTE_POLARITY_TOGGLE,NRF_GPIOTE_INITIAL_VALUE_LOW);

    /* Index 0 will Publish on DPPI Channel 0 */
    nrf_gpiote_publish_set(NRF_GPIOTE_EVENTS_IN_0,DPPI_CHANNEL);

    /* Index 1 will Subscribe on DPPI Channel 0 */
    nrf_gpiote_subscribe_set(NRF_GPIOTE_TASKS_OUT_1,DPPI_CHANNEL);

    /* Enable Publish and Subscribe */
    nrf_gpiote_event_enable(PUBLISH_EVENT_INDEX);
    nrf_gpiote_task_enable(SUBSCRIBE_TASK_INDEX);

    /* Enable DPPI Channel */
    nrf_dppi_channels_enable(NRF_DPPIC, DPPI_BIT_SET(DPPI_CHANNEL));

    /* Validate things did get enabled */
    printk("[0] is %d\n",nrf_gpiote_te_is_enabled(PUBLISH_EVENT_INDEX));
    printk("[1] is %d\n",nrf_gpiote_te_is_enabled(SUBSCRIBE_TASK_INDEX));
    printk("[2] is %d\n",nrf_dppi_channel_check(NRF_DPPIC,DPPI_CHANNEL));

}

I also modified the Secure Bootloader to set the DPPI peripheral to Unsecure, and to also unlock all of the DPPI channels by adding this line to the spm.c file:

	    NRF_SPU->DPPI[0].PERM = 0; // unsecures all

Before I did that the "nrf_dppi_channel_check" would return false (which is what it is supposed to do).

A full example run (showing the bootloader as well) looks like this:

Any thoughts on what I am missing?

Thank you so much!
