That has no meaning. This is why:

The Options with a name containing a colon ":" are
the so called "parametrict options" originally introduced
for vfs modules in samba (smbd).

These are not properly established in the internal configuration
system, but can be used ad hoc in the code. (It has to be like
this for vfs modules that can be contributed externally.)

Hence "testparm -v" can not show this as a possible option.
It only shows the non-parametric genuine samba options.

As a side-remark, for the s4-configuration, "samba-tool testparm"
is the right tool. "testparm" is for the s3-part (smbd, ...).

Cheers - Michael
