The default folder for new addressbooks is the Local Contact type storing data in ~/.local/share/contacts.
Thanks, Will. That was the information I needed. I think I'll delete all those std.vcf files in the other folders to avoid getting confused by them again.
The default file for old (pre 4.4) addressbooks is ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf. These should be used with the 'VCard file' type.
If you add a new addressbook of either of these types, do your contacts come back? Failing that, are there contact files in ~/.local/share/contacts or a vcard file in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc ?
The Personal Address book is repopulating itself as I write :). It's strange that I couldn't get it to find this resource yesterday, but then I've logged out/in since then. Oh well, it's working now.
HTH
Indeed it did.
