I can confirm that it's a duplicate of 289732. I followed a work-around
similar to that described in the upstream report
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559093) mentioned in bug
#289732.

I used the following SQL query to identify the folders on my computer that 
contained a colon:
  select distinct base_uri from photos where base_uri like "file:///%:%";

I renamed these folders by hand to change ": " to "- "

I then use the following SQL statements to update the F-Spot database:
  update photos set base_uri = replace(base_uri, ": ", "- ") where base_uri 
like "file:///%: %";
  update photo_versions set base_uri = replace(base_uri, ": ", "- ") where 
base_uri like "file:///%: %";

It seems that we should avoid importing folders with a : in their name.

I hope that helps.
