You are using Sync Services to sync to iCal.

I wasn't aware that you could sync to both iCal and Entourage. This sounds
like a recipe for disaster when they end up syncing. In order for your
iCal
entries to show up in Entourage, they have to be in the "Entourage"
calendar
in iCal. 

There is no setting for Default Address Book. Why would you expect
Entourage
to be able to access your Apple Address Book? Other than having Sync
Services sync your Apple Address Book to Entourage, they are two separate
applications.

To get rid of duplicates use one of the scripts to remove duplicates.

I suggest making the Apple Address Book (sounds like it contains the most
data) as your base. Erase everything in Entourage then sync using "Replace
Entourage items with Sync Services items."

It might help to understand the basics of Sync Services:
