Is "firstname.lastname" the user name, i.e. the name that users use to  
login with? Otherwise it doesn't make any sense, because the address  
book names have nothing to do with names.

If this is the user name, then this is the correct behavior, if you  
use shares with the localsql source. Read the upgrading instructions  
and check the mailing list archive.

Regarding the default_dir vs. sync_books, there is not much we can do  
at the moment, because the import function is not only used for SyncML  
but for other imports too.
