This is correct and intended behavior. Turba distribution lists cannot  
be mapped one-to-one to Kolab distribution lists. In Turba list  
members are links to existing contacts, in Kolab members are simple  
name/email entries.
Contacts that can not (longer) be found, will be removed from a  
distribution list.
