From the name of the place you are trying to copy to, it's a ZIP drive.  If
that is the case, then it is presumably a FAT32 formated disk.  In that
case the error is because the file name you are trying to create is invalid.
What I suggest you do is to copy the files to somewhere else in your
home filesystem, then tar them into a file with a FAT32 compatible name
and copy that to your removable media.
