sed question

I have a file that conatins following info

Policy1=U|guestRoom=test1idCode=5(1):!:Amenity2=U|RoomId=testrma=4(1):!:|
GuestRoomAmenity1=U|guestRoomId=testguest1id^rmaCode=5(1):!:|

I need it to look like this

Policy1=U|guestRoom=test1idCode
Amenity2=U|RoomId=testrmaCode
GuestRoomAmenity1=U|guestRoomId=testguest1idrmaCode


Basically need to cut out "\([0-9]\):!:" and start the remaining on the next line.

I am trying to use following sed command
sed -e 's/([0-9]):!:/\n/g' $FILE > $TEMP_FILE && mv $TEMP_FILE $FILE

but I am not getting righ result.
What I am getting is
Policy1=U|guestRoom=test1idCode\nAmenity2=U|RoomId=testrmaCode...

So for some reason "\n" does not work.
Any ideas on what is wrong here?
Thank you in advance

here's something to start with - sorry, don't have much time to spend on this right now.

nawk -f arush.awk myFile

arush.awk:

Code:
BEGIN {
  FS=":!:"
  pat2rm="[(][0-9][0-9]*[)]"
}
{
   for(i=1; i<= NF; i++) {
     gsub(pat2rm, "", $i)
     print $i
    }
}
