I don't use Baikal but as a start let's try to analyse what's going on:

Have a look at the log and try to pinpoint the errors. Instructions for this can be found in several posts. It can be achieved like this:

• You need to have developer mode active.
• Open terminal or SSH into your device. You will need two terminals/ssh sessions.
• 1st session:
  systemctl --user stop msyncd
killall msyncd
MSYNCD_LOGGING_LEVEL=8 devel-su -p msyncd
• 2nd session:
  devel-su journalctl -af | grep caldav
• Then go to settings -> accounts and trigger a manual sync (long tap on the account, then select 'sync')
• You should see output on both terminal sessions. The 2nd session is most of the times the one that has the interesting info...
• When finished just hit CTRL+C in both sessions.
• start msyncd again with systemctl --user start msyncd

Report back here and I will try to help.

I tried it myself today. Bottom line is: I had to create separate accounts for calDAV and cardDAV to get it working.

calDAV worked fine all the time but cardDAV did not, so I created a separate account for cardDAV with the following URI:

https://server.url/card.php/addressbooks/username/default

Of course this can differ if you have a different version of baikal running or have baikal installed into a directory. Mine is 0.2.7. For 0.4.x it should be:

https://server.url/html/dav.php/addressbooks/username/default

Maybe it also works with different settings, but these worked for me.

@chris.adams : Interested in logs? Main Problem (at least to my untrained eye) seems to be this line from unsuccessful sync:

RequestGenerator::generateRequest:93 - generateRequest(): ""  QUrl( "" )  "1" "PROPFIND" "<d:propfind xmlns:d="DAV:" xmlns:cs="http://calendarserver.org/ns/"><d:prop><d:resourcetype /><d:displayname /><cs:getctag /></d:prop></d:propfind>"

in contrast to

RequestGenerator::generateRequest:93 - generateRequest(): ""  QUrl( "https://user@server.url/card.php/addressbooks/user/default" )  "0" "PROPFIND" "<d:propfind xmlns:d="DAV:"><d:prop><d:current-user-principal /></d:prop></d:propfind>"

I also see some strange behaviour because I migrated my contacts data from one server to another...

i also use baikal und it worked for me with following workaraound. i set up for caldav anf carddav 2seperste accounzd in my jolla and parsef the baikal url until ...card.php and on the other account until cal.php. optional path in both cases empty. this works for my calendar and my addressbook. however i have some missing entried in my addressbook but if i make a new contact in the phone it is correctly syncing onto the baikal server. i know try to make the rpm for the buerto sync update but if i fail with that ;) i will wait fot thr next Sailfish update. but generally it works with this settings
