Hi Roy,
Why not just create the usual Polyglot.log and then look into it?
I guess you have the wrong quotation(") signs not in your Polyglot.ini
and they are only for the message here?

Below you can see that it works as it should:
[PolyGlot]
EngineName = Rybka_10b-32
EngineDir = .\
EngineCommand = Rybka10b-32.exe
Resign = True
ResignScore = 800
Log = true
LogFile = Rybka_10b-32.log
[Engine]
Hash = 64
Search Direction = Very Tactical
POLYGLOT *** START ***
POLYGLOT INI file "polyglot.ini"
POLYGLOT Dir ".\"
POLYGLOT Command "Rybka10b-32.exe"
