CreateItemFromTemplate works only with .oft and .msg files. You need to use a different approach with .vcf files, either parsing their text using the vCard specification (hard) or opening them with a shell Execute command and using the resulting Inspector (easy - see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=212
for a code sample)
