Comment:

 Hmm, this is quite bad. Should we coerce the `:` to something else when
 copying from Tahoe to the local filesystem? Changing what name the archive
 subdirectory is stored under would not solve the problem when restoring
 existing backups (it might be a good idea anyway though, despite the
 resulting irregularity of names).

 This is a special case of #731, but one that users can run into even if
 they haven't explicitly used filenames that are invalid on their local
 filesystem.
