   I'm betting that if you were to look at the relevant file (with a Text   
   Editor), you would see that it lists a double setting of File Locations,   
   one set to display the Windows formatted copies (i.e.   
   C:\SeaMonkey\Profiles\addressbook) and a similar (but different) set of   
   Linux formatted copies(i.e. Home/SeaMonkey/Profiles/addressbook).
