This is ok. All the PIDs I have seen contain numbers, upper case letters, and perhaps "$" or "*". The "checksum" can be letters.
Since you have a Windows PC, one thing you could try is to register the PC as a 2nd device with your ebook vendor. Then redownload the ebook and confirm that it can be opened by Windows MobiPocket Reader (it will then be in your MobiPocket ebook directory, which is My Documents\My eBooks by default). Now try mobdedrm using the Windows PID, which will probably have a $ in it. Note that Windows MobiPocket Reader can do the registration and redownload for you from many MOBI sites, or you can do this manually via a web browser.
