I had the same problem with Fritz 6 and I have the "Next" tablebases which have
the promotions.  So it's not a problem of not having some tablebases.  It seems
the Chessbase people are overly challenged in the tablebase department.  They
never did fix the problem with Fritz 5.32 and now Fritz 6 has similiar
problems(And I guess Junior 6 also).
