Password start with digit

All,

Can someone confirm or tell me if you've run into this. A user changed her
System i and Windows passwords. They match, but start with a digit. She
can sign on to both Windows and the System i with this password.

*BUT* there is a job she runs once a day that copies 3 PDFs from the IFS to
a windows share via the QNTC route. It's worked fine for many months until
2 days ago when she changed her password to START with a digit. The W2008
Security event viewer says it's the wrong password. Could it be that
Netserver (or whatever it is on the System i that supplies the password)
cannot handle a password starting with a digit?

Thanks.
