Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

When I make edits to the address book in kontact ("Personal Address Book" backend) or to the calendar ("ICal Calendar File" backend) the changes are persistent (i.e. stored in mysql) but are not reflected in the backend files themselves.  In both cases I have the backends configured for read/write operation.

What is the expected behavior here?  Is Akonadi supposed to keep the backend files in sync with local edits, or is only a one-way migration into its mysql store?  I'd like to be able to preserve the pim resource files for backups, and for read-only copies for remote kde clients.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit an address book entry
2. stop and restart kontact
3. stop and restart akonadi
4. verify that the address book edit persists in the address book
5. verify that the address book edit persists on-disk in the vcf file(s)


Actual Results:  
I would expect edits in kontact to be reflected in the VCF files associated with the Personal Address Book

Expected Results:  
What I am finding is that the VCF files are not being updated as the address book changes.

This issue is being reported w.r.t. a Fedora 14 system (x86_64) with updates from the kde-redhat repository.

The same issue happens for the ical backend; the calendar entries are not persisted to the .ics file.  In 'akonadiconsole' I see that the edited calendar entries show up in the browser tab as having a new record ID but having an empty "Remote Id".
