Here:
This will get you farther.  The clipboard part doesn't work... it's always
been FM to me. You had an extra paren before own-clipboard.

(defun mg-copy-position()
  "Copy a string of the form filename:linenumber into the clipboard"
  (interactive)
  (own-clipboard 
   (format "%s%s%s" (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name) 
	   ":" (line-number))))
