Me too.
Actually ext3fs over lvm:
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvmedia on /home/media type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/vg2-lvbigdisk on /home/bigdisk type ext3 (rw)

OK, tried: /home/media/dvb/A:B.mpg
and that is OK, creates .idx fine, and looks normal. This is with the 
same source file that is a problem in the other path.

Tried a few others, and narrowed it down to issue with either:
dvbcut A.B\:C.mpg     {from that dvb dir below}
dvbcut /home/media/dvb/A.B\:C.mpg

but the following are OK:
dvbcut /home/media/X.Y/A.mpg
dvbcut /home/media/X.Y/A:mpg
dvbcut /home/media/X\:Y/A\:mpg
dvbcut /home/media/X.Y\:Z/A\:mpg

I guess that means someone is assuming a filename that includes more 
than 1 dot and a colon "must be a URL" :-( even if it looks nothing like a:
protocol://somepath

AFAIK having multiple dots in a filename or path is perfectly legit in 
most modern file systems. {Colons are no go in windows, as you mention.}
