I'm trying to set up syncevolution v. 1.0beta2a, and I can't figure out how to 
synchronize my Google account with KDE's PIM.

It seems easy enough to get syncevolution to talk with the SyncML server and 
download the Google data. What I can't figure out is how to make syncevolution 
store the contacts in a directory so that it may be read by the KDE PIM.

Below is the short version of what I've attempted to do:

1. Setting up the Google account seems simple enough: 

  syncevolution --configure --sync-property SSLVerifyServer=true --sync-
property SSLVerifyHost=true google

followed by setting my username and password in 
~/.config/syncevolution/default/peers/google/config.php.

To avoid overwriting my Google data, I've changed the sync to refresh-from-
server in 
~/.config/syncevolution/default/peers/google/sources/addressbook/config.php.

2. Inspired by the instructions at: 
http://wiki.scheduleworld.com/wiki/Linux_KDE_4_Configuration, I changed type 
and evolutionsource to:

  type = file:text/vcard:3.0
  evolutionsource = /home/wolf/Contacts

where /home/wolf/Contacts is an existing (and currently empty) directory.

Unfortunately, executing: "syncevolution google"

yields an error, complaining that: "First ERROR encountered: addressbook: : No 
such file or directory"

I've tried to change the type back to: "addressbook:text/x-vcard", in which 
case the contacts are downloaded and synchronized with *some* database on my 
computer, but /home/wolf/Contacts remains empty.

What am I doing wrong?
