Well, open() takes the name literally, including backslashes.

I just checked it on my Linux system (using Qt 3.3.7), and I can open
files with ":" in them by just specifying the name or full path (e.g.
/disk/sda/6/DVB/A:B.ts). I can also open them from the File/Open dialog.
The problem might be caused by the file system on /home/bigdisk. I'm
using ext3fs (any other "native" Linux fs should work as well). Some
file systems, however, don't allow ":" in filenames. The variants of
Microsoft's FAT file system, for example. Although in that case you
wouldn't have been able to store the files in the first place. I'm not
sure what happens when you export an ext{2,3}fs via Samba (as opposed to
NFS which should work fine). You aren't using Mac OS X, are you?
The error message seems to come from the QUrlOperator class - more
precisely, from QUrlOperator::startOperation() - which is used inside
the QFileDialog. But I can't figure out why that blows a fuse on your
system while it works on mine. :-(
