Channel's don't have *name* property, so I'm not sure what you're talking about here.

Does the queue already exist, or are you trying to create it here?

From http://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-reference.html#queue.declare.passive

"bit passive
 If set, the server will reply with Declare-Ok if the queue already exists with the same name, and raise an error if not."

So you would end up with a channel error if the queue doesn't already exit and will need to open a new channel. If that's the case, then it's likely the behaviour you're seeing is consistent but the client error is confusing. The 404 channel error means "The client attempted to work with a server entity that does not exist".
