The numbers are all correct, you just have to take charge of
the printing format. By default gretl prints scalar values
with printf format "%g" (to six signficant figures, dropping
any trailing zeros), and prints matrices to five significant
figures. To see these values as you wish them, use "%.1f" for
quarterly and "%.2f" for monthly. So for example,
printf "\n%.2f\n", jnk
"%.2f" means print a floating point number to two decimal
places.
