I totally forgot about the \ trick.

But please do reconsider reopening this bug. the fact remains that tar
and rsync (two basic archiving utilities) failed to backup those files.

hmm, maybe I should have opened the bug for rsync and tar (cause they
don't know how to process a name with ":" in it).
