For the sake of completeness, you should be able to do this also using only 
the one source configured for shares.  Just create a new share using the 
"My Addressbooks" screen in turba, then, instead of using 'value' => 'Our 
Address Book'  you should use the newly created share's internal 
identifier.  This is something like 
"localsql:82e8f032c1ab043b5efaa4fde50653d2" where localsql is the key into 
cfgSources for the source type and the long string of characters represents 
the share's uid.  The share uid can be found by looking at the 
administrator's DataTree screen.  It is under horde.shares.turba.

I know it's a bit cumbersome to dig out, but it will save you from the 
overhead and time to create a new source, especially if your using the same 
backend, attributes etc...

This is similar to what is described in ticket: 3271  When I get caught up 
on things, I'll try to write a wiki page describing this...
