FWIW this url isn't correct, it needs three ///'s and don't use ~.
use e.g.
uri = g_strdup_printf("file:///%s/.evolution/addressbook/local",
g_get_home_dir());
although that assumes the home dir path is url safe.
no idea if this has any bearing on the issue, i doubt it.

I doubt it matters where it is (i could be wrong though). Just so long
as people know where it is, so when they do backups they grab it.
Actually making it in evolution's location, if evolution didn't do it,
may not be the way to go.
