Christian,

Indeed I think the problem is quoting.  In particular, you need quotes around
the actual filename to get through to the program if you use a file path that
includes a colon.  I don't know how to accomplish this on windows.  But you
might be better off not using an absolute path that includes a driver
specifier.  I think use of the colon as a delimeter for sections of the
filename may have been unwise.

Best regards,
