That's clarifies things thoroughly, thanks!

There's no file named kabcclient in .kde/share/apps/kabc.  Now we just 
need to find out why the migrator is failing (and, perhaps linked, why 
new address books keep appearing in Akonadi).  On starting kabcclient, I 
get the following console messages:

No operation specified, assuming --search
Connecting to deprecated signal

if that helps.
