Do you happen to have some files in

~/.kde/share/config

like

- kabcrc
- kaddressbookrc*

that might point at an alternatives storage location for contacts? Do you 
remember that you might configured another storage location? If you had 
working contacts before but the std.vcf files in the standard location are 
empty since a long time, then as Sherlock Holmes most likely would 
conclude, the contact information has to be elsewhere. But since that 
wouldn´t be a standard location it would have to show up in some 
configuration file where it is located.

Another step would be to grep for a known contact in your whole home 
directory.


What contact related files are in .config/akonadi?

I just have:

martin at merkaba:~/.config/akonadi> cat 
agent_config_akonadi_contacts_resource_0
[Agent]
Name=Personal Contacts
Online=true

Which should point to ~/.local/share/contacts where there are indead 
indivudual vcf files. When you told akonadi to use a non standard 
location, I think it must be noted in these config files.

Ciao,
