I'm having exactly the same problem... :-(

I have several vcf addressbook files stored on the folder 
/home/myself/Addresses_e_Calendars

These files are properly configured in akonadi, and I have them 
configured to be monitored for updates via the "Enable Monitoring" 
option.

When I create a new contact or modify an existing one it stays fine in 
kontact, but only until I close it. When it closes the target vcf is 
not updated, and all modifications or new data is lost.

Inspecting xsession-errors, I found that every time I edit a contact, 
the following message is appended:

[/usr/bin/akonadi_vcard_resource] akonadi_vcard_resource_1(17361)/kio 
(KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know 
"/home/myself/Addresses_e_Calendars"

So it looks like akonadi is indeed trying to monitor and update the 
target vcf resource, but something goes wrong...
