The syntax is actually:

  var = ( a:b:c )

Notice the lack of space.  For non-special cfengine variables, having
multiple values separated by spaces just changes the value of the variable
to each rvalue in turn, so with your above syntax, 'var' just ends up set
to 'c'.

Also make sure you've got spaces between the parentheses and the values,
as in my example.
