If swapping the A & /A with the B & /B pairs does not reverse the encoder 
direction, its possible you have some other problem like differential pairs
mis-connected, say:


ENC A   7I33 A

ENC /A  7I33 B

ENC B   7I33 /A

ENC /B  7I33 /B


Or maybe some general electrical problem...

Its also possible that theres a problem with the 5I23 configuration (which one 
are you using?) but thats fairly unlikely. I can test it with a 7I33 on 
Monday.
