well i dont see anything wrong but really, perhaps im missing something BIG.. here's what i have in my controller..

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
    'smtp_pass' => '****',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);

            $this->email->from('[email protected]','Rapphie');
            $this->email->to($email,'Charmie');
            $this->email->subject('Email Test');
            $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');

            $this->email->send();

            echo $this->email->print_debugger();

i dont use "ssl://smtp.gmail.com" because it gives me another error such as this:

fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl"

try this

 $from = '[email protected]';
 $to   = '[email protected]';
 $subject = 'your subject';
 $message = 'your message';

 $this->load->library('email');

 $config['mailtype'] = 'html';
 $config['smtp_port']='465';
 $config['smtp_timeout']='30';
 $config['charset']='utf-8';
 $config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
 $config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
 $config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
 $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

 $this->email->initialize($config);
 $this->email->from($from);
 $this->email->to($to);
 $this->email->subject($subject);
 $this->email->message($message);

 // Sending Email
 $this->email->send();
