Yes, take a look at item #100613 in the "Bug Fixed in 2006.2" section of the
Release Notes <http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.062/user/relnotes.txt>for
version
2006.2 of p4d:

	#100613 **
	    / is no longer allowed in client or depot names.  Because
	    of the way Perforce manages views, having a / in the name
	    can cause data inconsistencies.  Now / is simply disallowed.
	    Most other entities (branches, labels, jobs, etc) can still
	    have a / in them.  (Bug 5422, 7152, 12904, 21751).



I have been bitten by that one too, and had to stay at 2006.1 for one of our
servers while clients are being progressively renamed. We had no particular
reasons for using "/" apart from aesthetics (we used that on groups too, and
it looks neat in a spec depot).
