as mentioned in the mail I send you it looks like the funding tx of the channel was already spend: https://www.smartbit.com.au/tx/2a00c8d2e392cbf20f9175f2ebb72dd1f8d522547cf5b3d01725446a08776e59 so the channel is closed

Also the command to remove a channel from the DB has not been added yet but should be released in 0.6 IIRC

yes, the channel is closed. 
i want to purge it from the DB to fetch the feereport.
i guess 0.6 will fix this.
Thank you for your input.
