 Your file name has a : in it.  scp is treating the part before the colon
 as a hostname.  If you read scp(1) then you'll see:
 
      File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate that the
      file is to be copied to/from that host.  Local file names can be made
      explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file
      names containing `:' as host specifiers.  Copies between two remote hosts
      are also permitted.
 
 Try
 
 scp './1328517293.M104652P74802.flux2,S=14033,W=14349:2,' adm@10.1.1.1:/home/adm/in
