Hello Tomas,
Have you check your Goliath.ini?
In your Goliath.ini you must have like this:

HASHSIZE    [0 - 64 MB]     = 32
SELECTIVITY [N or HIGH]     = N
SPECIAL     [N, A, B, or E] = N
--------------------------------
BOOK        [ON or OFF]     = ON
LEARNING    [ON or OFF]     = ON
LOG-FILE    [ON or OFF]     = ON

Change book OFF by Book ON!
Best Regards
Alexandre Côme
