My usual trick for dealing with dbf files is to import them into R and manipulate them there. The read.dbf and write.dbf functions in the R foreign library (see http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html) seem quite robust. R is a programming environment for statistical computing; it's probably overkill to start learning R just to manipulate your dbf files, but R is an incredibly useful and powerful system, which by the way has a lot of spatial analysis capabilities (see http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/web/views/Spatial.html), including links to GRASS.
