Well, you haven't really told us what you are doing (code-wise), so
it's hard to tell...

Have you compared your code to the dbpsk/dbpsk2 and dqpsk/dqpsk2
blocks in the source code? That might give you a hint.

My best (blind) guess is that you are feeding the modulator the wrong
number of bits per sample. You have to send a dbspk a chunk size of 1
bit / byte while the dqpsk takes 2 bits/byte chunks.
