Comment (by barry.wardell):

 Colons in filenames are also a very bad idea on Mac OS X. It can handle
 them to a certain extent, but weird things often happen, with the colon
 often being automatically translated to and from a slash '/' instead. This
 is a carryover from Mac OS's pre-UNIX days, where colon was used as a path
 separator but '/' was allowed in a filename. For example, if you use ls
 from a terminal you will see the correct filename, e.g.
 'carpet::timing..asc' but if you look at the same file in Finder it will
 appear as 'carpet\/\/timing..asc'. If you try to rename the file in
 Finder, it gives an error if you put in any colons. You can put in
 slashes, but they are automatically converted to colons (and shown as
 slashes in the GUI).
