There could be a few issues. 
1. Check that your channels have the right settings for checksum type (SHA256) and Architecture (AMD64 Debian). If they don't then you will need to delete and recreate them.
2. Don't use debianSync, use the standard spacewalk command which now support Ubuntu and Debian directly. Check the list archive from April 12 for my post on what works for us.
