Have you checked that akonadi runs without any errors?
On (k)ubuntu I had to change the mysql tables to get rid of errors.
My latest workflow is (as user):
# Stop akonadi, stop nepumok + virtuoso
akonadictl stop
# (wait 10sec)
qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver quit
# (wait 10sec)
killall nepomukserver
# remove old stuff of akonadi and nepomuk in users home dir, clear config files,
rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
rm -r ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk
rm ~/.kde/share/config/nepom*
# start akonadi, update mysql tables:
akonadictl start
mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ # ignore errors
mysql_upgrade --socket=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket
# restart akonadi, kbuildsycoca,
akonadictl stop
kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
nepomukservicestub nepomukstorage
# wait 10 sec
akonadictl start
# restart session, start nepomuk, test akonadi if nepomuk is on dbus available
systemsettings + Alt+F2 "Akonadi Setup"

:-) This seems to work :-)
