Both the accumulated precip and dewpoint should be decoded correctly if you 
copy abomgrib228.tbl to wmogrib228.tbl (fine if you do this in a working 
directory and not $GEMTBL/grid/ )

decoded from IDY25200.group1.slv.2011012512.006.surface.grb:

 Number of grids in file:    11

 Maximum number of grids in file:   5000

gdcntr fill plot of ACCUM_PRCP06 looks good at first glance.
