I have been following this because achieving a csv file of my
address-book is a desirable outcome. 

I tried this with Evolution open, closed and force-shutdown. Here is the
output:

[root andrew
andrew]# /usr/lib/evolution/2.12/evolution-addressbook-export
--format=csv > contacts.csv

(evolution-addressbook-export:5032): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strv_length:
assertion `str_array != NULL' failed

(evolution-addressbook-export:5032): evolution-addressbook-tools-WARNING
**: Couldn't load addressbook NULL
[root andrew andrew]#

The contacts.csv file is created in the working directory but of course
it is empty. 
Permission denied to run as user.

What have I missed?

Thanks
