And after restoring those three locations back the way they were before
copying the information from the backup, I find that akonadi still spews a
bunch of errors and won't start.

So let's go back to basics:

1. How do I clean up the situation so that at least akonadi will start again?
2. Then we can go back to the original question of how to restore the contacts
from the backup.

Feeling like I'm descending into a pit of misery...
