I vaguely remember having similar problems. I don't really remember the 
details, but If I remember correctly for some strange reason you need to have 
a hidden folder, even though you're already below a hidden folder (~.local/). 
Again if I remember correctly someone told me this is supposedly expected 
behaviour according to some standard.

E.g. I have my local mail in (note that "indbox.directory" is a hidden 
folder):
/home/cb400f/.local/share/local-mail/.inbox.directory/

And the corresponding configured path for my local folders agent in KMail/
Akonadi is: /home/cb400f/.local/share/local-mail

I hope this somehow leads to a solution.
