     Finally got to finding the solution... I have Ubuntu running in a 
VM, and the profile folder I was using was on the host machine, shared 
in. TBird doesn't seem to like that setup anymore.
     So I moved the profile folder back to the default location, and 
just created a symlink to abook.mab & Local Folders.
