[gnokii] writephonebook command on a nokia 6303i, with various different connections. it fails more or less with all

Hello there,
this is my first attempt to use gnokii and have not have luck with the
write command. Note that I have seen in the wiki that Nokia 6303i seems to
fail when writing to, but I am stuck even before that.

what I have:
slackware64 v14.0, with kernel 3.2.29.
gnokii --version = 0.6.31

I have been trying several different access methods:

$HOME/.gnokiirc
[global]
model =  6510
port = 1
connection = dku2libusb

[phone_1]
model = AT
connection = serial
port = /dev/ttyACM0

[phone_2]
model = 6510
connection = dku2libusb
port = 1

[phone_3]
model = series40
connection = dku2libusb
port = 1

[phone_4]
#to use do: ifconfig usbpn0 up , before you exec gnokii
port = usbpn0
model = series40
connection = phonet

[phone_5]
#to use do: ifconfig usbpn0 up , before you exec gnokii
port = usbpn0
model = 6510
connection = phonet

[logging]
debug = on

with [phone_1] I can identify correctly the phone over a CA-101 nokia usb
cable. I can also read the phonebook contents. unfortunately trying to
write a single vCard to the nokia6303i phone fails.

The vCard is the following

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
FN:Name Surname
N:Surname;Name
EMAIL;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=8BIT:[email protected]
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+10123456789
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+19876543210
END:VCARD

and the command and command output (omitting the huge log dump)
# cat testVCard.vcf | gnokii --phone 1 --writephonebook -m ME -f -v
....
..after a while..
....
Write Succeeded: memory type: ME, loc: 834, name: Name Surname, number:
Write failed (Data format is not valid.): memory type: ME, loc: 2, name: ,
number:
Serial device: closing device

In the end the contact seems to have been created in the phone's list, but
it is empty (ie no fields such as numbers and emails have been created). I
have seen they had problems writing to phonebook in the gnokii
Nokia6303Config site as well.

With phone_4 configuration (phonet) and phone_5 , I receive the same error
in the end of the command , but this time the 1st phonenumber HAS been
saved in the phonebook ! ( i wish more would...). so it looks like there is
support for basic phonebook over the "phonet" connection. Is that a correct
conclusion? In such a case, how can I use "enhanced" phonebook
funcctionality?

Now I am trying to get the dku2libusb to work.
I assume I have to remove the "acm" and "phonet" modules first: "modprobe
-r cdc_acm , cdc_phonet , phonet" , and then

# gnokii --phone 2 --identify

what is going on with dku2libusband It does not work? Am I using it wrongly
in some way?
Any ideas ?

Please note that with "gammu" and the "at" connection, I have managed to
copy a contact along with its 1st (only) phonenumber, ie the same thing I
managed with "gnokii --phone [4|5]" connections. but here I am using the
phonet driver.

What is even more frustrating is that in a windows PC with nokia PC suite I
have managed to copy this vCard correctly and fully to the phone. Is there
a way to do the same using linux and gnokii ??

Thank you in advance for your help
