Is it "DictionaryDescriptor" or "DictionaryDescriptorFile" ? It should just be "DictionaryDescriptor". The lookup was improved around August 2015 and three parameters in that descriptor were combined into one. Dictionaries created post- 8/2015 (or by new code) will not work with pre- 8/2015 ctakes.

Do you run the command line script, run with an xml descriptor file in the CPE gui, or have you written a java class that creates the pipeline? DictionaryDescriptor points ctakes to your custom configuration file. Without it ctakes is probably defaulting to the 2011ab dictionary.
