Hmm, it sort of works for me, but there seem to be a couple of bugs. 
What you have to do in the import dialog is to assign fields to 
columns. You do this by selecting a field and a column and then press 
"Assign to Column". Do this for all fields and press ok. The addresses 
get imported.

I don't understand why you would import data exported from 
KAddressbook. There is a native format, vCard. Just have a look at the 
file std.vcf in your $KDEHOME/share/apps/kabc directory.
