Not sure about what you did, but both sums appear to be identical. For 
instance (note that I have change the order of the expressions and 
renamed the second f1 to f2),

In[1]:= f1[n1_, n2_, x_, m_, i_, j_, k_] :=
  Exp[I*2*Pi*(m/3*(n1 + n2 - i - 2 j - k) + x*(n2 + i - j - 2 k))]

s1 = Sum[f1[n1, n2, x, m, i, j, k], {i, 0, n1}, {j, 0, n2}, {k, 0,
    n2 + i - j}]

f2[n1_, n2_, x_, m_, i_, j_, k_] :=
  Exp[I*2*Pi*(m/3*(n1 + n2 - i - 2 j - k) + x*n2 + x*i - x*j - 2 x*k)]

s2 = Sum[f2[n1, n2, x, m, i, j, k], {i, 0, n1}, {j, 0, n2}, {k, 0,
    n2 + i - j}]

s1 === s1 // Simplify
