Well thanks to Gartmore's brilliant suggestion the problem is solved
Since I do have 30.5mm filters for this [ UV , CPL and Warm ] made by Hoya I've tried screwing the filter into the front of the hood AND IT WORKS And the lens cap goes on .
Now for anyone who wants to try this - have fun getting your 30.5mm filters They are NOT easy to find , which is why so many seem to use 49mm ones without the hood.

Stefan,
Is that a 30.5mm pinch cap to replace the screw-in one that comes with the lens?
Good idea if so, the fiddly cap is about the only drawback of this lens that anyone reports.
BTW, was that picture taken due to a forthcoming sale of your DA 40mm?
Yes, did you get that little cap with the lens? I only got the screw on one.

Glad you got it sorted TT.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

Not only for that but the 49mm is the most used filter thread for Pentax, roughly 1/3th of the lenses use it if not more.which is why so many seem to use 49mm ones without the hood.
Also all the DA limited use 49mm so if you get a the set complete you only need one filter for them all.

I also only got the screw on one, someone was selling his DA40 on the Pentaxforums and he got it from some place else the clip-on lens cap.
