If the users are the owners of the list, any contacts of this list  
that can't be found anymore are deleted automatically. If the user  
does not have write permissions on the list, they will get this error  
message, until the list was opened by the admin.
There is a bug in the latest release though that broke this behavior  
if the contacts are from the same address book like the list. This has  
recently been fixed in CVS.
