Thanks for the report!

monotone does not consider filenames containing backslahes to be valid
because they may be interpreted differently on different platforms.

While this constraint is fairly sensible for files monotone is managing, in
this particular case the file just happens to exist within the set of
directories that 'automate inventory' is printing status information for,
but monotone is not managing the file, and therefore probably shouldn't be
concerned about whether it is well-formed in terms of filenames that
monotone considers valid.

Any chance you can file a bug for this in our bug tracker?
