You probably are sending the symbol wrong. It should look like this if you are using cleos:

cleos push action eosio.token transfer '[ "bob", "alice", "50.0000 SYS", "m" ]' -p bob@active

where eosio.token is the contract account, bob and alice are accounts, "SYS" is the token and "m" is a memo message. Also, do not forget to import the keys into your wallet and unlock it.

Maybe you share a code sample or command of how you execute the action, so I can help you more precisely.
