the report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/627045

"After mounting a WebDAV enabled resource under Nautilus/gvfs (gvfs/1.6.1) user is not able to delete a directory with a colon (":") in the dir name. This does also apply to RENAMEs etc.

Under Linux/Ext4 filenames with colons are nothing special, Windows/NTFS does prevent/forbid them, I think. But as WebDAV is perfectly able to serve files with a colon, and Linux should be as well, it is not understandable why Nautilus chokes on colon-file/dir names."
Comment 1 Christian Kellner 2011-05-14 10:06:28 UTC 
This is also due to not properly encoding URLs before sending them to the server.
I have made some local tests with fixes applied for bug 561515 and with those fixes applied handling of the colon is fixed. I am therefore marking this as a dup 561515.
