I don't think a specific forum for cPickle exists (but I may be
wrong). However, the best place to ask for help is surely the Python
mailing list.

cPickle (pickle) doesn't like when a string starts with backslashes or
is in some way corrupted (i.e., missing quotes or similar). It thinks
you are trying to hack your machine :-D. However, this depends on
exactly *what* is inside your file and if it could be interpreted as
dangerous by cPickle (whatever it means).
