Hi,
I'm quite sure that is due to you trying to configure eth0\:1 and not
eth0:1
Try to rename your file to eth0:1 and after restart your network
service, also
only as advisement, you can't have two interfaces
at the same host on the same network, it doesn't work properly.
Best regards,
Carlos Xavier.
