Sorry, but whilst you might not have any Windows clients, Samba is 
trying to emulate Windows and ':' is not allowed in file names on 
Windows. The colon is reserved for things like disk names e.g. 'C:'

I am surprised it worked on 4.17.5, that code has been there for a very 
long time.
You could investigate the 'catia' vfs module, try reading 'man 
vfs_catia', it will translate illegal characters to legal ones.

If that doesn't work, you will probably have to use something else 
instead of the colon.
