Your problem is here. Those backslashes need to be escaped in the
string literal.
Since this code was generated by GRC then this would seem to be a bug
in GRC, unless it's really intended to accept backslash escapes inside
an un-quoted string in which case you need to double all the
backslashes or just use forward slashes.
Not clear this is a bug in GRC. Nearly all parameters in GRC blocks are
simply Python expressions. In order to deliver the "least astonishment"
criterion for Windows users, there'd need to be an exception to that
paradigm just for the file-sink block, which would violate the
"least astonishment" criterion for other users. I don't think
there's any "win" available here, other than having the user double-up the
backlashes.
