Ray Kinser responded quickly with the problem. Thanks Ray.
 
I had created attributes in Access of data type Decimal, but for some reason, the width was set at 13, and the number of decimals at 2. The default values for Decimal types are 20 and 10, respectively.  I still don't know why a value wasn't added, truncated to 2 decimal places.
 
Once I reset the attribute to Double, the translation worked as expected.
I guess if one defines a destination dataset with garbage datatypes, you also get what you asked for, even if it was not expected. It would be nice in future versions to have some validation of data type settings (perhaps a VERIFY button in the UserAttribute tab) to catch these types of errors.
