No, you have to do this differently. The import script uses an API  
method because there happens to be one which already does all the bulk  
of importing vCards. Very handy. This also means that the backend  
driver and any import logic is completely hidden from the actual script.
Thus you need to explicitly instantiate a driver object in the import  
script and call deleteAll() on *that* one. The following code should  
work:

$injector->getInstance('Turba_Factory_Driver')->create($source)->deleteAll();

This has to be added immediately before the contacts/import registry call.
