Since FEWS 2017.01 the bufr tables are no longer allowed in the bin directory. They should be put in the $REGION_HOME$/Modules/bufr directory of FEWS. The BUFR files can be downloaded from http://www.eumetnet.eu/opera-software/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tables-OPERA-20121119.zip
If required the bufr tables directory can be overruled by a global property: BUFR_TABLES.
