Unable to create or access database with "/" in name when using futon

First of all, this CouchDB v1.6.1 appliance was acquired from TurnKeyLinux.com

I'm attempting to create a database named "artist/guid".

With futon I'm using the UI to with name "artist/guid" returns: "no_db_file"

With the HTTP API I used:
curl -u admin -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/artist%2Fguid/
returns successfully.

Futon lists the DB but upon accessing it I retrieve the "no_db_file" error again.

If I create a document within the database using the HTTP API is seams to work fine.

curl -u admin -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/artist%2Fguid/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {}
