Thanks.  Roughly where I first looked but somehow didn't find.  

My problem was that, for some reason, that directory and contents were owned 
by root, so addressbook failed to save.  Unfortunately it fails silently, so 
you only discoer next time you open it that it is empty. 

My solution: I changed ownership (to user:user) and tried again, importing the 
whole list from another machine.  Still didn't save.  I emptied all 
other .vcf files from the directory and tried again.  Still didn't save.  So 
I copied the std.vcf file directly via nfs to the ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/ 
directory, and now it is visible to addressbook, and addressbook saves 
changes.  

Can't say I understand that, but at least it works.
