You have to select a resource type and then configure it. If you want a new 
address book you can select VCard Directory, select the folder you want to 
contain the address book (you can create a new folder from the dialog) and 
click OK.
It will then have a name like 'akonadi_vcarddir_resource_0'. Right click on 
the new resource, select 'Folder properties' and change the name.

Or select VCard File, select to the folder where you want the address book to 
reside, enter the *file name* of the address book eg. 'addressbook.vcf' (can be 
a non-existent file), click OK and enter Display name.

If this solves your problem remember to update the bug report.
