I tried and QNTC does work with back slashes.

What proprietary closed system did you find that uses slashes that way?
MKDIR      DIR('\qntc\\Acum_bl1')

On systems which follow the open standards the slashes go /, not \.
mkdir '/qntc/gdl164'
Directory created. 
And there should only be a single slash between QNTC and the server name. 
Like my example above.  Not like:
MKDIR      DIR('\qntc\\Acum_bl1')

Hello pundits

A QNTC directory  has stopped working a week ago after years of service.
This Directory is used for copying documents from the IFS to a Windows
Server.
Copying is done by issuing a CPY CMD by a i user having the same exact 
user
name and password in the Windows domain.

The job log shows the following

CPDB053    Diagnostic              30   05/11/17  13:15:41.394979

information for user AS400 on network
server Acum_bl1.                                     Cause . . . . . :
 The IBM i NetClient (QNTC) file system has encountered an error when
authenticating user AXXXB with a network server Acum_bl1.

the directory is created at IPL time (QSTRUP) by a MKDIR statement
MKDIR      DIR('\qntc\\Acum_bl1') DTAAUT(*RWX)             OBJAUT(*ALL)

Signing on as user AXXXB  and entering WRKLNK '/QNTC/Acum_bl1'
displays a "(Cannot find object to match specified name.)" MSG.

 As I said, this method has worked fine for years and suddenly stopped
working about a week ago.

No permission changes where made on the i and in the Windows domain.

Any advice would be appreciated

TIA
