In my experiences, I have found that while the OS/400 IFS commands are 
forgiving, and will accept a path like \folder\file.ext.  The API's are 
not and require that the path be specified as /folder/file.ext.

Also, do you really have a folder named root?  I would guess that the 
correct path is /ifsreports/JEFF/corbtch.xls
