Set debug to 2 in core.php. Cake defaults to a 404 when there's an
error and debug is at 0.

I don't see a redirect in your method. In any case, you want to avoid
doing that because your $validationErrors won't exist if you redirect.
The correct way to handle this is to only redirect when the save is
successful. That way, Cake will redisplay the form otherwise, and
FormHelper will know to display the error messages.
Think of it this way: When the user first browses to /contacts/add
Cake will display the add view, which contains a form. Your save code
will not be parsed because $this->data is empty (or, in your case,
because RequestHandler->isPost() returns false). FormHelper will
create the empty form.
When the form is submitted, RequestHandler->isPost() retrn true and
Cake will run through your save() operations. If that is successful,
your code should redirect somewhere else.
If the save fails, though, your code shouldbe allowed to finish
running therough the controller method. Cake will, in turn, re-display
the form. Because your $validationErrors is not empty, FormHelper
should display the error messages.
