The backup I have is an exported .abbu file of a couple of hundred

Was this "Other" account "Your Account"? Otherwise it would be
rejected possibly as you wouldn't have correct permissions.
What was the error you received when you tried to replace the
"Application Support/AddressBook folder"?
My original instructions were for "Your" Address Book backup folder to
be copied to the same location in your new home folder, replacing the
AddressBook folder there.

Another suggestion you could try is:
1. Select all your contacts (from the Address Book that is functioning
correctly) and drag them to the desktop.
This will make one big vCard with all your contacts on the desktop.
2. Move it to your Account and drop it on the address book there.
If you can’t import because of permissions errors.
In the Finder, select the vCard file you’re trying to import and
choose File > Get Info.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, choose Read & Write from the
Privilege pop-up menu
I see there is a file named Configuration.plist. Should I try
deleting that?
No.
