Try creating a symbolic link to the addrbook folder instead of to the
addrbook file;

Some operations on the addrbook file includes deleting the old file and
creating a new file as a copy of the old file. Doing this will break
your symbolic link but using a symbolic link to the folder in stead
will preserve access to the addrbook file.
