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.
