R you sure the path is correct?

Try the <tab>-completion (just move to your home-dir, wirte ".gnome",  
press <tab> go to .gnome (you will see it now!)the again type GnomeC<tab>  
and you will see all you address-books

If all this is correct vou will see you contacts in File->AddressBook - if  
they aren't there something else must be wrong...
