It is not possible to have a ':' character in a filename on a FAT-based
filesystem. This is because that character was used to denote which
disk drive a file was on back in the DOS days... "C:\junk\stuff.txt" and
so forth.
I am not sure what these hidden files contain, or whether they're
actually important. You can pass the "--exclude *\:*" option to rsync
to tell it to not try to transfer files that contain ':' characters,
which may help.
