Sorry, I already know what is the problem.

I removed the slashes from the labels and everything works perfectly.

In any case, the error message is incorrect. Would you like report this upstream yourself (to bugzilla.freedesktop.org) or should we do it for you?

Looks like a fix:

I don't think slashes in labels are correct.

Slashes in labels are allowed. Has anyone tried the patch? (comment 4)

Oh.. It's already in 208-r2.
