Several things, 

1)  you need to do an apt-get update after adding the line
2)  I think, that this particular archive (which is not the official debian 
one) does not have the task kde defined.  You'll have to apt-get the 
individual groups of packages (kdelibs4 kdebase, kdeadmin etc) separately.
3) You may need to remove all existing kde packages before trying this.

You might find it easier whats happening if you use dselect or aptitude.
