You are using Mac OS classic, otherwise it wouldn't be possable to have a
filename containing slashes.

RR indeed sees the slash as path-item-delimiter, just like Unix, Mac OS and
Internet. So whenever RR sees a slash in a foldername or filename, it is
replaced by a colon (:), the Mac OS classic path-item-delimiter.

So access the file using "dd:mm:yyyy"
