So I'm trying this:

SOLAR$ set file/enter="decnet.dir" sys$specific:[000000]decnet.dir
%SET-F-ENTERR, error entering SYS$SPECIFIC:[000000]DECNET.DIR;2 as "decnet.dir"
-RMS-F-FNM, error in file name

How do I make a link from SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECNET} to [.DECNET}?

I don't know enough details on exactly what you are doing to give a full 
answer, but I do know this much:
Directories *must* have version ;1.
It is absolutely not cool to try and have one with version ;2

I would guess from the above that there already exists a 
SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECNET]

That ;2 was because his command made file specification default assumptions.
