I don't know what the problem is- 
I tried this part of the command in a 
bash shell- 

echo 00:80:9f:04:36:13 | sed -e s/:/-/g

And it worked as expected-

00-80-9f-04-36-13

I also tried it without the "-e" option- 

echo 00:80:9f:04:36:13 | sed s/:/-/g

And it worked as expected-

00-80-9f-04-36-13

So your problem isn't with sed, it must be something 
else- I admit, I really don't know all of 
what is going on in that sprintf, but I would guess 
it might be a quoting problem.

HTH,
Peter
