It is workign properly in pcb-rnd sense: it is taken as a file name, we do 
not have any special mechanism for directories or colon. A proper UNIX 
file system does allow you to have colon in file name, so you can build a 
symlink farm with filenames like foo:bar pointing to kicad footprint 
files.
