Please start evolution-data-server and evolution from seperate consoles and 
see if there are any error/log messages printed while you try to create a 
contact/event.

I thought I had already responded to this.  I eventually did a fresh
installation, which eliminated the problem.  Unfortunately, I am unable to
determine what might have caused it.  I had attempted to create contacts (and
everything else) in the default folder(s).  The only thing I can say is that the
default, vanilla installation did not permit doing anything.  

However, re-installing the OS solved the problem.  I may have chosen some
different packages the second time around.  Perhaps there is a dependency that
someone forgot to tie up.  I just don't know.
