By the way, on my system this works (I can re-import the vcard into the Addressbook), but the file is opened by TextEdit by default. How can you change this? I tried:
set default application of target_file to ((path to applications folder) as text) & "Address Book.app:"
but this doesn't seem to be allowed.
You have to create the file with the Finder, as shown in the following modified script. I also put in code for selecting the file's location and the group, so they're not hard coded. And while I was at it, I took the code for creating and saving the file out of the "tell application" wrapper, and made it into a handler.
