By "your code" you must mean the contents of get-my-data?
It's big and messy but I tried to whittle it down.
At that point I found that when I brought it all the way down to
(defun get-my-data () "hello")
I still ended up with an empty file.
At which point I tried this with the same results
(with-temp-file my-data-file (insert "This really sucks"))
