That means you have the equivalent of:

rrdtool update file.rrd time1:1:time2:2:time3:3:time4:4:...

You want:

rrdtool update file.rrd time1:1 time2:2 time3:3 time4:4 ...

Another approach would be to use the remote command method:

have a file:

 update file.rrd time1:1
 update file.rrd time2:2
 update file.rrd time3:3
 update file.rrd time4:4
 [...]

or this one:
 update file.rrd time1:1 time2:2
 update file.rrd time3:3 time4:4
 [...]

and pipe it through rrdtool:

<filename rrdtool -

or, winning the useless use of cat award:

cat filename | rrdtool -

or, if it works (I don't know) on DOS:

type filename.txt | rrdtool.exe -
