Strange. You should try the following tests:

* Directly write "cam_2011-11-24_10:19:27.mkv" on ffmpeg command-line,
  without using the shell substitution.

* The same with a more normal name: "cam_20111124_101927.mkv".

* Opening the file from the shell instead of ffmpeg:
  ffmpeg ... -f mkv - > cam...mkv

* Just creating the file from the shell:
  touch cam_2011-11-24_10:19:27.mkv

Those tests would help find out what is going wrong.
