I cannot seem to find the problem. In siesta-3.2-pl3 the code which writes the DIM file is (as you say) binary, and is performed in plcharge.F In Denchar the file which reads it is local_reinit.f and that also assumes it to be in binary format. So no mismatch here.
I just checked in siesta-3.1 and that one has the same way (everything in binary). Are you by any chance using a very old version of denchar? And if not, are you sure the problem is the DIM file?
