Bug#416728: Unhelpful message copying file with unsupported character in file name

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.14.3-11+b1
Severity: wishlist

When I tried to copy a file that contains a ":" in its name to a DOS 
file system, an error message was displayed that said

 Error "invalid parameters" while copying "/home/kraai...emise.flac".

 Would you like to continue?

 [Cancel] [Retry]

The file was named

 02 - My Motivation: Your Demise.flac

Ideally, I wish it would explain that the ":" character wasn't permitted 
and offer to omit it from the copy's name.
