do you have assigned entitlements on those organizations?

eg
admin -> organizations -> <name of your organization> -> subscriptions 
-> system entitlements

you should have at least some management (base) entitlements available 
to assign base channel....

but if you already have entitlements available is possible that your 
channel has "organization sharing" set to "This channel is private and 
cannot be accessed by any other organization." or "This channel is 
protected and may only be accessed by specific trusted organizations." 
and obliviously your organization is not trusted :D

so you can change organization sharing by:

channels ->  manage software channels -> <your channel name> and then 
under organization sharing select "This channel is public and may be 
accessed by any of the trusted organizations trusted by this 
organization." -> click Update channel,

so you can make a trust between the two organization under: admin ->  
<name of your organization> -> trusts
