Problems with ipmcforward on Summitx690

hi,
I'm experiencing some strange problems with multicast-routing.
I have an incoming multicast-trunk (untagged in on port) with a lot of different multicast-groups with different sources.
Most streams are working but some ar not. I cannot see what the problem is since nothing seems to differ in the streams (except for group and source-ips)
Can anyone help to see what i am missing?

System Type: X690-48x-2q-4c
Primary ver: 30.6.1.11
patch1-4

If i configure a mirror from the inconing vlan towards a host i can see the following in a packet-dump
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-working stream:

13:44:50.858867 d0:c7:89:a8:37:c0 > 01:00:5e:10:00:ff, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 1374: vlan 2204, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x88, ttl 60, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 1356) 10.224.248.255.6000 > 235.16.0.255.6000: [no cksum] UDP, length 1328

TTL is ok, and the packets are pretty much identical but the switch refuses to route the first stream.

does anyone have any suggestions on other filters for debug to see more information?
What might cause the deletion of L2 cache entry?

Typical...It's funny how you go over the config over and over again and find nothing wrong, then suddenly you see it:

Wrong route: 10.255.1.0/24 should be 10.225....

Now i feel stupid
