Johan -

In case you don't know (perhaps the "|:" was a typo), "||:" is distinct from "|:".

Please see :

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/bars#bar-lines

in the Notation Reference. This section states (among other things) :

Although the bar line types signifying repeats may be inserted manually they do not in themselves cause LilyPond to recognize a repeated section. Such repeated sections are better entered using the various repeat commands (see Repeats), which automatically print the appropriate bar lines.

In addition, you can specify "||:", which is equivalent to "|:" except at line breaks, where it gives a double bar line at the end of the line and a start repeat at the beginning of the next line. 

and gives a graphic example.
