We have had reports like this.

The problem has to do with the primary exchange. There is a new symbol format that you need to use for certain stocks which specifies 2 exchanges including the primary exchange. Here it is:

Refer to the section:
Stocks With Specified Exchange and Primary Exchange Format

The problem is, we do not know when exactly this format will be supported by Interactive Brokers. It is very new and we are not sure it is supported on their system yet. They did communicate to us recently on the subject, so we know that support will be coming soon.

It could be we are wrong about the problem. But in any case, it is going to be some issue on the TWS side. You may want to contact Interactive Brokers support about it.

The only other information we have is in help topic 3:
