</i>That happens because the colon is treated the separator between the file
name and an argument.
and Machine.add("C\:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck") results in error

</i>That happens, most probably, because the Chuck parser is attempting to
translate escape sequences into characters, long before even constructing
the call to Machine.add().
Try
Machine.add("C\\:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck")
that will let the escape sequence parse parse \\ into \, and then the
argument parser will see \: and leave your filename alone.
