When I make acknowledge, the directory /var/lib/xymon/acks/ stay empty.
It seems to be working and alert are correctly acked from the interface,
but if I restart Xymon I lost all ack data.

Others directory have never been update, since server is in production
(more than 1 year) :

/var/lib/xymon/logs
/var/lib/xymon/disabled
/var/lib/xymon/data
Those directories only exist for backwards compatibility with the old "Big Brother" system which Xymon grew out of. They will be updated if you enable the xymond_filestore module, but there is no reason to do so unless you have some really old Big Brother specific add-on that relies on data in these directories.

Restarting Xymon should keep you acknowledge data, though. Xymon stores the current state (including the ack-data) in the server/tmp/xymond.chk file, so unless you deleted that file then it should pick up your ack-data.
