Issue is that somehow UnifiedVM isn't blocking file names containing a : (which is a char that can't appear in filenames in windows) a PR will be out shortly that addresses this issue and blocks containing : and other illegal chars.

All linked issues are due to StoryCAD trying to read/write to a story that doesn't and cannot ever exist due to file name being blocked by windows.
