You might have corrupted or incomplete tablebases.

It is very important to check the MD5 checksum of every file you download. Check this site: http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/tablebases-online/

You can get this utility to check the MD5 checksum:

Good luck,

What version of polyglot are you using?

Use polyglot exe versions 1.4w4 or 1.5w ... if your using one of the more recent 1.4 ones such as 1.4w20 for example you might have these kind of problems!
