Javier,

The results you obtain may be caused by an inconsistent estimation of the \Pi 
matrix because of seasonal unit roots. Gretl does not treat seasonality in 
the Johansen test. With monthly data, if you are only interested in the zero 
frequency (the trend, or long run) you can: 

1) filter your series in this way :  X*t = (1+L+L^2+ ...+ L^11)Xt and apply 
the Johansen test to the filtered series.
2) Consider at least p=12 (or better 24) lags in the Johansen dialog box.
