[EMBOSS] Problem with dbifasta

Hi, I have a problem and hopefully someone can help me solve the
mistery. 

I have downloaded emboss 3.0 and create the emboss indexes of several
FASTA formated databases downloaded from NCBI using 'dbifasta'.  

I found some entries can not be retrieved using seqret unless some
'trick' is used. For example,

In the month.aa.fas file from NCBI, there is an entry called
'ABB51209.1'. After dbifasta, I ran 'seqret' and search for
monthaa:ABB51209, then I got error. If I search for monthaa:ABB51209.1,
then I found this entry. If I search 'ABB51209' at ncbi.nih.gov and
specify protein database, then this entry came out with accession number
ABB51209, with no '.1' at the tail. 

Thank you very much in advance.
