I'm trying to close a position and I getting a Unknown contract description of the error. What's I'm doing wrong:

Here's the details:


Header
BeginString [8R] = FIX.4.4
BodyLength [9R] = 250
MsgSeqNum [34R] = 77
MsgType [35R] = ExecutionReport
SenderCompID [49R] = OEC
SendingTime [52R] = 20110906-12:07:29
TargetCompID [56R] = RPaganini2TM
Body
Account [1] = 1
AvgPx [6R] = 0
ClOrdID [11] = 2113001
CumQty [14R] = 0
ExecID [17R] = OECFIX:634508295033528388:7
OrderID [37R] = OECFIX:634508295033528388:6
OrderQty [38] = 7
OrdStatus [39R] = REJECTED
Side [54R] = SELL [2]
Symbol [55] = 6SU1
Text [58] = Unknown contract
TransactTime [60] = 20110906-12:07:29
PositionEffect [77] = CLOSE [C]
OrdRejReason [103] = UNKNOWNSYM [1]
ExecType [150R] = REJECTED
LeavesQty [151R] = 7
MaturityMonthYear [200] = 201109
CFICode [461] = FXXXXS
Trailer
CheckSum [10R] = 136



And I'm trying to close using:

Header
BeginString [8R] = FIX.4.4
BodyLength [9R] = 159
MsgSeqNum [34R] = 77
MsgType [35R] = NewOrderSingle [D]
SenderCompID [49R] = RPaganini2TM
SendingTime [52R] = 20110906-12:07:29.720
TargetCompID [56R] = OEC
Body
Account [1] = 1
ClOrdID [11R] = 2113001
HandlInst [21] = AUTOEXECPRIV [1]
OrderQty [38] = 7
OrdType [40R] = MARKET [1]
Side [54R] = SELL [2]
Symbol [55] = 6SU1
TimeInForce [59] = GOODTILLCANCEL [1]
TransactTime [60R] = 20110906-12:07:29.717
PositionEffect [77] = CLOSE [C]
MaturityMonthYear [200] = 201109
CFICode [461] = FXXXXS
Trailer
CheckSum [10R] = 162



Can you check for me what's I'm doing wrong?
I'm using my own fix connection instead of use through the API.

Hello,

Symbol tag should be 6S in your case.
