Thank you :) I have set that value by hand to the personal  
addressbook, and here's the interesting thing :-
1. Autosave now persistently ends up in the right destination (hooray!)
2. The displayed value in the preferences shows the other addressbook  
where it has been saving it

Curious....
With thanks, Jamie
