Hmm.. doing testing with just a path to the media file, so no mlt file.
maybe a different issue.  I'll try a simple mlt file next.

this errors:
bar:bar/00_00_00.dv

these do not:
foo/bar:bar/00_00_00.dv
./bar:bar/00_00_00.dv
../bar:bar/00_00_00.dv

carl@twist:~/temp$ tree foo/
foo/
├── bar:bar
│   └── 00_00_00.dv
└── baz

carl@twist:~/temp$ melt "foo/bar:bar/00_00_00.dv" -consumer xml > /dev/null

cd foo
