Inter Spacewalk Sync (ISS) where you sat-synct channel directly from one 
spacewalk to other, is available since Spacewalk 0.4.
So what did you do is possible from Spacewalk 0.4 to Spacewalk 0.5 (or 
to future releases). If you trying to get channel dump from older 
releases you must go the way I mentioned previously
  rhn-satellite-exporter -cyourchannel -d/var/tmp/somedir
  satellite-sync -cyourchannel -m/var/tmp/somedir
