Have you just upgraded to 1.6.20 ?
I believe that the
channel add
command is no longer usable.
See:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf#Channels

Adding channels via the config file is deprecated and discouraged. It is suggested that channels are added with the partyline .+chan command instead. Note that if channels are added this way, channel settings still has to be changed using .chanset The only difference between adding channels directly in the config file and using .+chan is that channels added via the config file will become static and can not be removed without removing them from the config file and then doing a .restart.

Are there any special characters in the channel name?

The majority of tcl scripts will not work at all on your bot doing this. As most every script today, uses some form of .chanset to control which channels the script will function in. Channels created in the eggdrop.conf are created as static channels. They do not have any settings that can be changed. So using any of my scripts for example, google, twitter, etc.. will fail, giving you the error "Invalid Channel: #yourchan" and you will be unable to use them.
So learn how to properly use .+chan and .chanset. Never use that channel add section within your eggdrop.conf ever again. Willyw is correct, they've been deprecated, this was how early on eggdrop users would add channels. Today that setting is basically useless, since everyone uses .chanset.
So in short, yeah, learn .+chan and .chanset and modify settings on your bots partyline. This is the proper supported way. Any other way won't cut it, at least for users of my scripts and pretty much 90% of others...
