Thanks for the info, Scott. I had tried to copy the addressbook.db and addressbook.db.summary from my old evolution folder to the new .evolution folder. It didn't seem to "take" even after a logout/login. However, when I rebooted to import the vcard file I made per your instructions, the contacts were already in 1.5.9, obviously from my previous copy. Go figure.
